Christmas Eve Traditions

We have several Christmas Eve traditions
  • Lunch at Mom and Dad's house with the whole family (no pictures of this whole day!)
  • Playing games with all the cousins while eating, eating, and more eating
  • Wearing these cool shoes (ie bowling with the kids) (it keeps their mind off of "you know who" coming to visit them soon

  • We read the book that my parents give us each year. This year it was God Bless our Way..they are always nice hard bound Christmas books. We've been re-reading the prior year's gifts a few each night to help us get in the right Christmas spirit.
  • Read the REAL Christmas story out of the scriptures
  • Frantically wrap presents---I almost never start early and I didn't again this year!

We continued the usual traditions...had fun at mom and dads. Stuffed myself silly. Had fun with bowling---I never win! Read the stories. Garrin and I wrapped presents and watched Christmas movies on the DVR. We stayed up until 1am to finish up our movies! NOT a smart thing the day before Christmas!




Thank goodness for bumper guards....Kaylee and Jaycee both used them this year! Maybe I should have tried them and I would have bowled better!
THE RESULTS:
Game 1: Devin, Kaylee, Garrin/Shawnee TIE, ME, Jaycee

PS---Devin's work party last week was FREE bowling for 2 hours. I think that's why he won, right Devin?

Devin looks just like his dad from that angle! Had to do a double take.
