More on Christmas Eve:
Christmas Eve was quiet but fun! We wrapped that last of our presents, had pizza for dinner and made Santa's cookies. After the kids were all tucked in Danny and I went to a candlelight service at church (at 11pm) while Tracy stayed home for us. When we got home, we watched a movie and went to bed just in time for Santa to leave gifts for the kids.
I think I love Christmas Eve even more than Christmas Day...
I know it sounds crazy but here's my reasoning:
Christmas Eve still holds all the anticipation of what "might" be, all the fun is still to be had. We cook and wrap and clean and it's all for a yet unrealized grand finale!
I love Christmas Day, too, but there's always somwhat of a let down that evening knowing that you'll wake up the day after Christmas to an ordinary day, with all of your ordinary things to do!
Anyway, in honor of all of the wonderful times we have yet to have this year, I thought I would wish you all a Merry Christmas Eve!
My Grandma will arrive tomorrow and as of this morning, she hasn't changed her mind about coming even though the weather is not entirely cooperative. It's rainy here (for nearly a week now!) and snowy and COLD in Kansas City!
We are cooking and cleaning today. We got the casserole ready for tomorrow morning so all I have to do is throw it in the oven to bake! We are making our Christmas cookies tonight for Santa! I still need to get the Chicken ready and prep the potatoes but otherwise we're just having a regular day. We will hopefully head to church this evening if the kids get a nap in. I really want to take everyone to the 11pm candlelight service but I'm sure as bedtime nears I will come to my senses about that. Maybe Danny and I will go and see if Tracy can hang out with the kids in case they wake up.
Anyway - Merry Christmas! We'll be posting some great video and photos over the break.
Love to you all!
