Christmas Eve 2014 was really fun. We started the day off by the kids going over to my Mom and Dad's house to make cookies for Santa and watch a Christmas movie. It was nice because I had a few extra errands to run and a couple of last minute things to finish up. I was so appreciative of my parents for taking the kids for us. Then we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa Mower's house for Christmas eve dinner. It was so delicious she made a prime rib dinner and it was really good. We acted out the nativity scene and Kate sang Silent Night. Then the kids got their matching pajama's from their Grandma and Grandpa Mower. Our tradition that the kids do is that they also get to open their stockings on Christmas Eve. This is a tradition that was started with the Black side of the Family. I can remember waiting so anxiously all night for my Mom and Aunt to pass out the stockings. Inside was always a little white box of hand made candies and chocolates that My Grandma Black made herself. It was so special to have my own little box of candy just for me. I am not as good about making candy, but the kids got a candy cane, legos, pokemon cards, (boys) Barbie clothes (Kate), and a tooth brush and orange sticks. We tracked Santa on the Santa tracker and discovered he was in New York City so we got out the milk and cookies and sent the kids off to bed. There was absolutely no snow at all when the kids went to sleep, and when they woke up it was a complete winter wonderland. What a wonderful white Christmas!
