My mom and her two best friends from work decided to throw Whitney a bridal shower over the break. However the day they ended up choosing ending not being the best day thanks to a storm. Even though not many people showed up... I still had fun ;)
I was definitely more excited for the kids to come over and see what they got than I was for my own presents. We really out did ourselves with the kids and spoiled them rotten! I really have no idea why my family feels they need to get up super early when the kids aren't around, but I guess it is a family tradition and some of my siblings still want to have it as a tradition... I personally would rather sleep later than 7 am.
Christmas Eve is always a fun time around our house. I love spending time with family and just having fun. This year we added two new members to our fun. We had Ammon's wife Lacey and Whitney's fiancee Dion with us to share the excitement with. For dinner we have the tradition of eating hoagies and mom's homemade clam chowder. After dinner we read about Christ's birth, when the kids are here we have fun having them act it out, but since we didn't have them this year for Christmas Eve we just read. After we get to open one gift. This is one thing I was excited about because it was something I had been wanting to get....
