I love our Christmas Eve tradition. We have a mexican dinner because of our Arizona roots. We usually go and look at Christmas lights, but this year an ice storm was going on so we decided against it. Robby serenaded us with his guitar this year - it was quite a treat. We have a jar under the tree that we put in our 'gifts' that we're giving to Jesus for the following year. These are his birthday presents from us. The kids get to open one present. We also read the nativity story and watch 'The Nativity'. Then the kids leave a treat out for Santa and go off to bed so he can come and fill stockings.
This Christmas we were up at 5:30 a.m. so that we could have our Christmas before Bruce went off to work. Here are some pictures from Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.
We hope you all have a great Christmas and feel the peace and love that only Christ can bring.
