Christmas Eve

Greg had to work Christmas Eve day, but he was home in time for services at Cornerstone. I was disappointed that it was not a candlelight service, but otherwise it was very nice. We were home before 7:00pm for our traditional take-out Chinese dinner. Then the fun began. This is the second year that I did not put the kids real names on their gifts. Instead I used characters from The Lord of the Rings. The kids had to guess who was who. I wrote all the names on this dry erase board.



It took them three attempts to figure it out: Landon - Gimli, Gerren - Frodo, Chase - Merry, Carys - Legolas. They have a lot of fun just guessing.

The Christmas Eve gifts were pajamas. The boys got sleep pants - a light fabric which is better for Florida than flannel.


Chase got two pairs of flannel pajamas (which I got at Walmart for $3 each the day after Thanksgiving). Chase got a Tinkerbell "spa" set (another Walmart Black Friday find) with thermal pajamas, slippers, glitter emory board, nail clippers, buffer, etc.


Gerren has made it his mission to hide from the camera!
