We had an awesome Christmas Eve this past year with everyone on Steve's side of the family meeting at his parent's house. The kids were so, so, so excited before we arrived to see all their cousins.
We have a tradition every year of lighting a candle a day the twelve days before Christmas. We usually read some part of the Luke version of the Christmas story and sing a few carols while we light one candle. I should have taken a better picture, but the candles are all places around a five-pointed star. We all did our "candle time" together on Christmas Eve.
Then it was presents! Jared was thrilled with his spinosaurus
...and also loved his puzzles, legos and games.
Alexa's favorite presents were painting kits, games....
....watching Jared open his Batmans Trio cave...
....and her absolute favorite....her GeoSafari Talking Microscope.
Jared ended the night on a high shooting nerf bullets with his cousin.
