This year we had Christmas on Christmas eve. The struggle with both of us growing up with different traditions is deciding on which one to use with our own immediate family. This year it worked well as the Christmas eve service was early afternoon. We had our family time before heading over to Grandpa and Gramma's house. I'm so glad to share in the traditions that have been passed down and some we keep from my family and some from Ray's.. As long as it works I'm fine with whatever. Some of the best moments that afternoon were... Just US time...
Kyla and her Dream come true Cinderella Barbie doll...
Mark's expression with MarioKart...
Ray's new look with his Ski goggles...

And I re-entered the world of cell phones after 8 years...
There were also many M&M's to last me till next year (thanks Marianne), games to play, Wii fun to be had, transformers to figure out and lego to build. Thanks to Aunties and Uncles and cousins from afar.
Christmas eve ended with Birthday cake for Jesus with the kids, sending them off to bed early so the adults could have some appies.
After the kids were in bed we had a nice bit of adult time! Listing to Dad telling us adults a story and just sitting and talking!!
