2. gathering around the tree to tell the story of Christ's birth and to sing Christmas carols
3. Our tradition of opening one gift on Christmas Eve... It's always Christmas Jammies!!
4. Reindeer Oats... 3 scoops of oatmeal. A dash of glitter and a pinch of sparkles. Mix ingredients together and sprinkle ouside on the snow. The oatmeal is for the reindeer of course and the glitter and sparkles will glisten in the moonlight, lighting the way for Santa's sleigh on Christmas Eve...
5. Cookies and milk for Santa (also included this year was a note from Evan requesting Santa's Signature...hmmmm???)
6. Ready for bed.... YEAH RIGHT!!!
7. Just after tucking the boys into bed... loud sleigh bells were heard right outside the window accompanied with a jolly "HO HO HO...Merry Christmas!" we "figured"Santa must have been flying over Logan ready to deliver his gifts to the boys and girls who were sleeping....
I love Chritmas Eve... with three little boys around the excitement in the air is magical!!

Sounds like a great Christmas!! I love all of the great traditions that you guys have. Traditions are such an important part of the holidays! We have the Christmas Jammies tradition as well! That one must be written in the Christmas rule book somewhere. :)
wow! what a great christmas eve!
you mentioned how your mom is so "on it" with being a hostess etc... em, i have to say you are just like her!
you have inherited all of her amazing qualities! i would describe you the same way!
Kent and I absolutely love the "Reindeer Oats" tradition!! That's so cute. I'm so excited to have my own children. Christmas is so much more magical with kids around.
Mom is the BEST host - I am so hungry thinking about that yummy Christmas Eve dinner! Even when I make the same thing - it is not nearly as good as hers :)
