Christmas Eve

We had such a fantastic holiday season this year!  We stayed in our new home and had a really great time with just our little family. Our girls were so excited for all the festivities...this may have been my favorite Christmas to date. :0)Sean cooked and baked and planned and made a huge feast for us. Ya...all of that for just us...3 adults and 2 little girls...hehe. :0) Once all the food was ready, we started a fire. It was the perfect setting, yummy smell of food and sweets, the fire cracking with the stockings hung and the Christmas tree lights glowing... Everything was absolutely perfect. :0)

Then, we began the festivities. Our agenda was as follows:

- Gather together and sang carols.- Made a plate of yummy food...eat, eat, eat...
- Gather for carols.
- Made a gingerbread house (such a fun tradition!!)- Gather for carols again.
- Lesson/activity on the symbols of Christmas
(star, candy cane, evergreen, presents)
- We ate food all along the way, but here was when we got our last snacks.
- Opened one present...just happened to be jammies a

nd slippers. :0)So, we all changed into our new snuggly pjs.
- I read Twas the Night Before Christmas.
- We said our family prayers and the girls went right to sleep.
Really...a wonderful night!
