Christmas Eve

We had a nice, laid back Christmas Eve day. We enjoyed spending time together as a family. After nap-time we headed to Michael's parents for our Christmas Eve celebration. We made gingerbread houses, listened to Christmas music, and ate a delicious Christmas Eve dinner. We made it home at a decent hour to get ready for Santa to come. After the kids were in bed we talked to my family on  Skype and opened sibling gifts together. I really love Christmas Eve. I love spending time together anticipating Christmas day.
