Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve. It was a cold day that ended up snowing, so yea we had a white Christmas! We started the festivities at about 5:00, with Matt and I and our little girls, my Mom, and my little brother Quinn. We had French dip sandwiches, and yummy potatoes for dinner. The girls loved them and snarfed them down. What a difference it makes when your kids eat and are happy! I felt more relaxed because of it. We put home alone 2 on and watched it. My 2 girls didn't want to watch it, so we put Aladdin on for them upstairs. Fine with me because we were able to watch and not be interrupted. We laughed so hard, through the whole movie, I forgot how funny it was. We watched the Nativity not the living sciptures version, it is real life version. It was so good, I highly recommend that you all see it. It really puts a perspective on how things were. I felt so bad for Mary and Joseph. We always open up a gift every Christmas eve, and it's always pajamas. This year McKenzie got princess pajamas, and Madisynn got lumberjack pajamas. They are adorable!!! We had scriptures and prayers with the girls, put cookies on a plate for Santa clause, and put them down in bed. Then us adults played fact or crap, and I lost miserably. My Mom went to bed afterwards, and me, Matt, and my brother watched hot shots part deux. Very funny, but I fell asleep. We all ended up going to bed around 1:00 A.M. It was a very fun night, and it was the first Christmas Eve that we were able to spend with family in about 5 years. I hope you all had a great Christmas Eve as well!
