This was the first Christmas Eve spent at home and we loved it. The kids were so excited all day to hurry and go to bed! We started the night by making a feast to eat with a turkey, rolls, glass window jello, salad, and stuffing. Before we ate, we set the feast up on the bar and on the table put a loaf of bread. We talked about how Jesus is the bread of life and if we realize that in our lives we will never hunger or thirst for more. We then ate the feast and quickly cleaned up so we could head downstairs for the rest of the festivities. The kids opened up new jammies and pillow pets. I had no clue how excited they would all be about pillow pets. The kids gave each other gifts and they gave us gifts they had made at school.
Pretending to be asleep,
Giving Hugs and thanking each other!
Off to bed we went in hopes that St. Nick would soon arrive! Some of us didn't get to sleep until around 2:30 though!

You're family is sooo cute! We did Christmas Eve at home for the first time this year too- I don't think we'll ever do it the other way again- it was so nice to stay home. Love you and don't see you enough! -Jamie
I love that last pic of Nick and Natalie hugging. So cute. I think Christmas Eve may be the best part of Christmas. Especially with excited little kiddos around.
