This year for Christmas Eve we had a great dinner with activities over at the Christensen's. There were a bunch of families from Karen's ward who didn't have anywhere to go. We had a great time together as Christmas orphans :). Jamie and her cute family also joined us. I love having family here in Texas with us. Karen had really cute craft projects for the kids to do while the dads sat around and visited. Later in the evening we had a very quick and wild version of Christ's birth. I think that was my favorite part of the night. After everyone went home our kids opened their Christmas pajamas with the Christensen's. It has become our families Christmas tradition that our kids really look forward to. Then, we came home made and put out cookies and cherry coke for Santa and his reindeer. Then it was off to bed in hopes that Santa would soon be here. Garrett and Josie opened their blinds and stared out the window until 11:30 when they couldn't keep their eyes open anymore. According to the tracking device for Santa on the computer, Santa arrived in Katy sometime around 1:00 a.m.. The kids were so close to seeing him. Maybe next year.

Sounds like a nice Christmas Eve. There is a lot of family here in Utah...would love to have you at our house next year!
The holidays are so fun with lots of family and friends. I bet the kids loved acting out the nativity.
So thankful that we were able to spend Christmas Eve & day with you this year, it wouldn't be the same without you!
Paula, I don't think we will be in Utah or anywhere else for Christmas. However, we would love to have you guys come out here for Christmas. It is too hard to travel with 5 and now 6 kids at Christmas time.
