Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was different and so much fun! We have struggled to find a good tradition since our grandparents passed away. Before then, we always had chicken cordon bleu, cheese potatoes, pretzel salad and the best rolls ever! We would eat, listen to the story of the birth of Christ from Luke 2 and then my grandpa would have the kids help with the flannel board pictures. We would end with stocking to open that they had shopped for all year long. Since their passing, we have struggled with what to do. I think we found it this year! We started with decorating gingerbread houses. Cole has a phobia of gummy candy so he wouldn't even come in that room. We each had to bring an idea for a game or something else for the small program. The games were hilarious! Kass read a story and my mom talked about the birth of Christ and also did a spotlight about her mother. As always...tons of yummy food!
