Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is a tradition of inviting family and friends into our home. The house quickly fills each year with both sides of our families, friends, lots of food and excitement! We eat, drink hot apple cider and punch - and just enjoy the spirit of the season. The kids are so wound up awaiting Santa's arrival. They are also allowed to open one gift in attempt to satisfy the anxiety 'til Christmas morning. It is hard to believe that weeks and perhaps months of talking, filling our "wish lists", and planning for this evening has finally arrived! Thanks to all who came; you always make our Chritmas Eve special.
