Christmas Eve

It has become tradition that we spend Christmas Eve over at my parents house.
We had a fabulous dinner, played Christmas songs with chimes, watched a Christmas movie, broke a pinata and then grandma tops off the night with a Christmas story.
Ever since the girls were little it has been tradition that we let the kids open up the gift from Mommy and Daddy on Christmas Eve. And every year its the same thing......Pajamas!
You think the kids would catch on but it cracks me up every year listening to the girls discuss what they think they are going to get. And then a little disappointed when they realize its just clothes. Hopefully they catch on at some point because its never going to changeHere they are opening their gift thinking they are going to be a Littlest Petshop adoption center and a easy bake oven candy maker.

NOPE........Just Pajamas. Darn!


Brian and Jennifer had taken the girls shopping the day before and thought it would be fun to break a pinata on Christmas Eve. The girls were so excited to do this. They got to pick out the Pinata and named it Mexico T because that's what the tag on the bottom said. They talked about Mexico T all day long and couldn't wait to break into it.

  1. Fun! I like the pinata idea. For some reason, Santa always brings a little extra present on Christmas Eve - and it is always pajamas. Our kids don't get too excited either, but they sure look cute for Christmas morning pictures.
