Christmas is full of excitement and many traditions. We add and take away different ones each year as the kids get older. But these are some of the ones we keep. We always have an organized program on Christmas Eve. It's like having FHE. This year we watched "Joy To The World" and B- played "Away In A Manger" on the piano, it's her first year of piano lessons. She practiced hard all week and I thought she did a beautiful job. K- also reads the story of the Saviors birth in Luke 2. When he is done he tells the girls that Jesus was the first gift of Christmas and that wise men brought him gifts, so that's why we give gifts to each other, to show our love like Jesus did. Then they get to open one present which mom chooses(it's always P.J.'s) and they love that. We also take the girls to go see the lights in our surrounding neighbor hoods. Then dad reads "The Night Before Christmas." On Christmas morning we always have a prayer before we start opening gifts. The youngest goes first, one at a time. Our breakfast is in our stockings which consists of a orange,apple, and banana. When all the gifts are open we put them under the tree and play with them all day.
