This is the first CHRISTMAS I have spent away from home and I was excited to spend it with just my kids,but at the same time I was going to be missing my parents and my extended family. After all, I've spent every CHRISTMAS with them for 50 years!! But I knew it was going to be magical having a close Christmas with just Zach and Ashley and their families.
I spent CHRISTMAS EVE with Ashley's family and then I was really looking forward to CHRISTMAS DAY when Zach's family would come up.
On CHRISTMAS EVE we had a nice meal, and made cookies for Santa and then my favorite, read CHRISTMAS BOOKS and we talked about the NATIVITY and BABY JESUS.
Each year on CHRISTMAS EVE I give the kids and each family a new CHRISTMAS BOOK for their collection, and I always give them our FAMILY YEARBOOK. I made this 182 page book in 3 weeks. I swear every year I will start sooner so I am not so stressed out and tired, but for some reason I never learn! I always give everyone matching PAJAMAS that we open on Christmas Eve but this year I gave the kiddo's theirs early so they could get their photo taken with them on for my CHRISTMAS CARD.
I loved spending CHRISTMAS EVE with Ashley's family and I loved cuddling up and reading lots of CHRISTMAS BOOKS with them. I loved this night!
