Christmas 2009 (Cont'd)

Christmas Eve was spent and Aunt Lavon's and Uncle Bernd's house. We have been spending Christmas Eve as a family as long as I can remember. We used to have Christmas Eve at Nanny's (Dad's mom). She lived next door to us. Now Aunt Lavon has continued this tradition allowing us all to come to her house.


Plenty of cousins that I grew up with and now our kids are playing together. I love it.

We have been trying to do different things with the kids on Christmas Eve. Instead of just them opening presents and being done. This year we played a game like "bingo". It was called "glory".

It made it easy for the little ones to play. It had pictures of Bible stories instead of numbers. We had bags of gifts for the kids to choose from. We had met before and wrapped gifts and put them in age and gender specific bags.

I think the kids really had a good time. We had a really good Christmas.
