We have traditions of taking a family picture with our camera on a timer, and getting the kids individually and all together in the brown chairs. Soon they're going to be too big for that, I'm afraid! All 3 is getting to be a challenge already. We open stockings right away in the morning. We do reindeer pancakes for breakfast and sing Happy Birthday Jesus. We read the Christmas Story as a family and then act out the nativity (tho sometimes we forget that part). We open presents and celebrate Christ coming, as well as each other. It's chaotic and crazy, amazing and joyful. What a wonderful day and one I'm so sad is over when the sun sets and the kids are all in bed.
Poor Reidees came down with a little bit of a fever this Christmas, and you can see his enthusiasm at breakfast (or lack thereof!) but thankfully he perked up a bit for the present opening. Then it was rest time and snuggles nursing him throughout the day while Christian made a fantastic dinner and I helped get us packed up to leave for St. Louis tomorrow.
I hope you all had a wonderful day as well, enjoying time with family or friends and remembering the reason for the season! Merry Christmas All!
