Our Family Christmas

I love traditions. They make me happy, they give me that warm fuzzy feeling inside. One of my favorite traditions in the last few years is Christmas Eve. My parents come down and hang out with us, help us set out the milk and cookies for Santa, and spend the night. The next morning we all gather together, bleary eyed, to watch the kids excitement. It's my favorite part of Christmas! This year we let the kids open some gifts on Christmas Eve...

They loved that, and then had time to play! Ellie made some jewelry while Austin and daddy played with Austin's new train, then Ellie got the cookies for Santa ready, and Annie wrote him a note...

Christmas morning!

Merry Christmas!
