Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve is the busiest day for us. The last 3 years now we have had a Christmas Party at our home with all our friends in the neighborhood. So I mostly cook all day, but for 5 years now Brax and I always start the day making Christmas cookies. She then picks her 3 favorite ones to give to Santa, Mrs. Clause and the head elf, then 9 carrots for the reindeer. She writes out her letter to Santa which I make her do on scrapbook paper so i can immediatley put it in her scrapbook (this was the 1st year she herself wrote her letter and list!) Ty takes her out front to sled and through snow on her, his highlight of the day and we finish with Brax and Bro opening some presents (the ones not from us, i.e. cousin presents and the ones from Grandparents).

Christmas Sunday

I love the Sunday before Christmas. Its very possibly my favorite Sunday of the year. I love singing Christmas songs and listening to the primary and our Ward Choir Sing. That's when it starts really feeling like Christmas. Our Ward also only has Sacrament which is something new for us but has started a nice tradition in our family!
