Here's how we spent our Christmas Eve
Krista's First Communion class did a play for the Chistmas Eve mass. Krista had a small text to read and did a wonderful job. Luckily we got there early enough to get a good seat. (Krista is in a red dress on left in photo above. On right in photo below).
Upon returning from mass, we noticed Santa had filled Great-Grandmother's sleigh! This was a wonderful tradition that was always so dearly cherished on Christmas day at my Grandma's house. When I went to the US for the funeral my Mom gave me the Santa sleigh which is to be placed in the center of the dining table on Christmas eve or day (in our case Eve). After noticing that the sleigh was full, we then received a phonecall from Santa that there was an early delivery at the doorstep...The kids all got new Christmas PJ's and stuffed animals! They were so exited!
Warm and cozy in their new PJ's!!!
Dinner time!! What was on the menu? My Mom's Christmas eve tradiation, a wonderful chicken, ham and noodle caserole with white sauce and sauteed almonds! The secret's in the butter cream sauce. Yum!
So, here it is our NEW family Christmas tradition: SEE BELOW!
The Sleigh!!! All loaded up with goodies for the kids.
Time to open the gifts on Great-Grandmother's sleigh!!! The kids sure had fun doing that. It will be a fun tradition to contiune!
Finally a photo taken of the heads of the household (sometimes!)..This one is courtesy of Krista.
