For the first time as a married couple Ben and I spent Christmas Eve in our home with our kids and not in Tulsa with family. I was sad at the thought of not being around for all of the family traditions I have grown to know and love but I was excited at the thought of starting our own special moments. Christmas Eve started with Ben reading the store of Jesus' birth from the book of Luke, then opening gifts that aunts, uncles, and grandparents had sent for the kids. I knew that the kids were going to get plenty of gifts and didn't want Christmas morning to overwhelm them so we split the chaos up over two days, I think it went great! After gifts, we played, had lunch, took naps, then went to Christmas Eve service at our church. The evening was capped off with pizza in our jammies, yea this mama has decided that pizza will be our new Christmas Eve tradition...yummo!
Brynlee loved her pizza dinner, that smile gets me every time!
A little hesitant with the tearing of the paper but it didn't take long for her to figure it all out.
Benjamin wasn't too thrilled with doing pictures before gifts but he is a trooper.
HO HO HO!!!!!
