Reading the story of Christ's birth on Christmas Eve...Mom wrapped 25 Christmas books and we opened up one for every day in December. It was a great way to countdown for Christmas.
Opening up the Christmas Eve present...which is always new PJ's...
Even Mom participated as a shepherd...Esther was the angel...Ben was Joseph and Rebekah was Mary. Emery kept trying to steal the baby!!
This was what I grew up doing every Christmas Eve...acting out the Christmas story. It was so neat to do this in our own home, with Tom reading the words from Luke 2 with my mom there. It was a wonderful experience for the kids.
Making sugar cookies...a tradition that came from my childhood. The kids loved doing it with Grandma. And I only sortof burned one batch. Yeah!!
