Merry Christmas Eve


 On Christmas Eve every year we spend the day opening gifts and then enjoying the gifts--playing with them, trying them out, etc.  It's an all day thing and we have good food too!  It's probably my favorite day of the year.  This morning started early at about 7.  The kids opened a new video game that they can all play together and then they went and played it with Ollie while I made breakfast.  We had a big breakfast of bacon, hash browns, eggs, yogurt, and juice and egg nog.

 After breakfast, we gave the kids their "big" gift...Hannah got a bean bag chair, Joe got a bow and arrows, and Grace got a camera.  We usually only give them one thing but this year they got the one thing plus a couple of other little things--the game and books.




 Joe was clearly thrilled with his bow and arrows.

Hi Kirsten! On Christmas day the kids get their stockings in the morning and then we go over to my aunt and uncle's and spend the entire day over there. We have a big lunch, open gifts, watch the Disney parade, and play with new toys.
