Christmas Eve Eve is always our big fun family day. We started out by taking the whole family to Costco (nutty) to buy breakfast for the next couple of mornings. We combined the trip with a quick stop (one hour) at the library. We are such a nerdy bunch. For a late lunch, Cameron took the kids to Pizza Pie Cafe (free kid coupons from school) while I cleaned and cooked watched The Help. Then we made gingerbread houses, ate snacks, watched A Chrismas Carol and slept under the Christmas tree listening to dad retell the story of Elephina. It was a good day.
Christmas Eve:
-Everyone got warm cozy robes except Jarin, he got pajamas.
-Yummy dinner of ham, baked potato bar and veggies.
-Christmas Eve concert of Christmas music on the piano by the kids.
-Dad read Luke 2 and everyone shared their favorite Christmas memory.
-Short trip to Ro Minervini's home to reveal her 12 days of Christmas family - us. (We secretively took small gifts to her for eleven nights and left running and giggling.) She invited us in for songs, hot chocolate, cookies and Christmas cheer. The kids said this was the best part of the whole night.
Merry Christmas!
