christmas eve was full of family and fun and lots of traditions.
one of our christmas eve traditions is a simple easy dinner of chicken strips and french fries on paper plates (easy clean up!). it drives my mom crazy every year because she wants a fancy dinner, but we all rally together and have won the battle year after year. it IS tradition, after all.
martinelli's is always on the menu. cheers!
recreating the story of the birth of Christ
the night was finished out with garrett putting on a dance concert for us.
this kid has moves.
my favorite tradition we have that i didnt get pictures of, is we draw names and have to make that person a gift instead of buying it. we open these presents christmas eve so they dont get lost in the shuffle of the presents on christmas morning.
when you get married, you get kicked out of the rotation, so me and cosmo made presents for eachother and joined them when they were exchanging their homemade presents. i made cosmo a carrying case for his crokinole board (awesome canadian game if you havnt heard of it, come play with us!!) and he gave me markers with a dry erase picture of himself with his hair gone, so i could do his hair however i wanted, since i am always trying to groom him. cosmo is a little creepy looking bald, but it made me laugh!
i love this time of year spent with family.
it cant get much better then this.
