This was actually our annual cooking baking 2 nights before Christmas. I was thinking the girls and I might not get to this tradition this year, but we found the time on Monday night! Hmmm good! Ben is in cookie heaven!
Yesterday the boys had to eat lunch by the piano bench "table" because the real table was already set for our candlelight Christmas Eve meal- filet mignon for the Lavey 5, minute steaks for the little Laveys.
Birthday Cake for Jesus! The boys were soooo excited! Andrew and I also shared with kids our favorite childhood Christmas memories and then what Christmas means to each us: see next post.
Off to church for our Candlelight Christmas Eve Service. Great message about Jesus being the light of the world, and how we need to now be a light in the darkness.
Christmas Eve family movie night- so fun watching the little boys watch the movie. They know the lines and just giggled their way through the movie.
After the little boys were off to bed, we set up our surprise. Five reindeer filled with each child's gifts. I think I came up with a pretty good idea with this one! Plus for mom: no wrapping needed. We just placed the gifts in their boxes. And we can use them again next year! Even Stephen was impressed with my idea.
We are ready for Christmas Morning!
Added bonus: Here are the boys coming down the steps on Christmas morning and discovering Santa's reindeer!
