Christmas Eve!

Every year for Christmas Eve we have a "Feast" or "Picnic" whichever you would like to call it. First the girls open a present (which is always their pajamas) and then we eat on a blanket on the floor. We eat finger foods of all sorts and drink sparkling grape juice. After we eat they get to open another present (which is always a new ornament). We then all take turns picking out Christmas songs and then we all sing it together. We then write Santa a note, put out the milk and cookies and then go to bed. It is very laid back, just the way I like it! (p.s. don't you love their pajamas?)
Mya standing by her new reindeer ornament (I usually always get them the same ornament but this year I just picked what I thought they would like best and I will probably continue to do it that way from now on).
This is Ellie with her jingle bell snowflake ornament. She absolutely loved anything with jingle bells this year so that is why she got this one.

This is Hope standing by her beautiful sparkly snowflake. It has crystals all over it and she loved it.

I am so happy to see the "feast" continue and with each of you families adding your own special touch to the tradition!!! We did the same but Craig and I did not sing together. We figured we had done enough singing on the video of High School Musical 3 on Brooke's Blog. AAAAGGGHH
