Christmas Eve at Our House

Christmas Eve is always a magical time in our household.... We all head to the candlelight service at church, and then come home and spend a wonderful evening as a family. Below, Daddy reads the traditional Twas the Night Before Christmas while the kids drink hot chocolate.



Mama always makes the kids pose infront of stockings. They don't grumble about having to pose for pictures. Much.

This year, Anna Jean and I whipped-out our matching Christmas aprons and whipped-up some brownies for Santa. We wanted to break the cookie trend. Too cliche. :)




The kids made a plate of brownies and a cup of hot chocolate for Santa. Christopher wrote this letter to Santa. Christopher wanted to make sure Santa was saved, so he left Santa a gospel tract. Wow.






On Christmas Eve, we have a tradition of the kids all piling-up in John's full-sized bed and sleeping together. Anna was so excited about this that she started asking about it months in advance!

And FINALLY, after hours, they crashed. "While visions of sugarplums danced in their heads..."
