Christmas Eve day was spent making & delivering treats to friends. That evening Grammy and Grandaddy came over for our traditional Christmas Eve Celebration. We had our potato soup in homemade bread bowls. The kids were all excited to have our Christmas program. We sang songs and Don read the Nativity story from the Bible while the kids listened and acted it out.
Luke ended up shuffling parts during the story. When we began, he was excited to be Joseph and help hold the baby Jesus.
But once the wise men arrived on the scene bearing gifts, he wanted in on that action. Luke loved bringing the gold to Jesus..then taking it away...then doing it all over again and again and again... 2 months later, he still talks about the gold gift for Jesus, funny kid.
After the extended gold edition of the Nativity story ended, we had some delicious dessert.

When Grammy & Grandaddy left, it was time for pj's and setting out stockings and cookies for Santa....and of course carrots for the reindeer.
Then it was off to bed for a few hours of excited whispering, then slowly silence encompassed the house for just a few sweet hours of sleep before the excitement of Christmas morning started with a child's whisper at 5:30 in the morning, spreading quickly to the under 13 crowd. Christmas was finally here!
