We had a great Christmas Eve and day with family this year. It started out with fun activities, pizza, and a Christmas Eve program. Lizzie and Katie sang "Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer". Although, Lizzie got a case stage fright and would barely mouth the words. (Too bad considering she does a great job of it at home!) Noah played the piano. We played Christmas gift games. We listened to Christmas stories and the kids acted out the nativity scene. Julie made for a sweet angel and Lizzie a generous Wise Man. Grammy and Papa handed out their always exciting stocking gifts.We left out some milk and cookies before putting the girls to bed. They were excited but not experienced enough to know to wake up before 8am Christmas morning (no complaints here).
Lizzie got a bike and Julie a princess castle. I loved watching the sparkle in their eyes all that day. Christmas morning is truly at its best when kids are around!
