Christmas Eve

Every year growing up while we were at Christmas Eve Service, Santa's Helpers would always sneak into the house and put new pajama's under the tree for us to open when we got home.  As we got older we knew that the pajama's were from our grandparents but we always looked forward to them.  I remember being a senior in High School and still getting excited to open my PJ's. 

Well now that I have kids my parents have started the same tradition with our kids and so H-J opened her pj's after she got home and we opened the twins.

Brian and I wanted to start a Christmas Eve tradition of our own with our kids so last year we read Twas The Night Before Christmas with H-J we decided that was a lot of fun so after H-J opened her PJ's she snuggled up with daddy and read a story.

After H-J and Daddy read her night time story she put out her cookies and milk and it was off to bed because we knew that Christmas was going to be an extremely busy day for all of us.
