Christmas Eve - 2009

Christmas Eve was very laid back! We went out to eat at Buca with Nani and Papa, Uncle Andrew and Aunt Heidi, and Pete, Bethany and Hunter. Then we headed to Heidi and Andrew's and they made us brownie waffles. They were delicious! We lit some candles and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus! Then we headed home to let the kids unwrap their new Christmas jammies and set cookies and milk out for Santa! Gerald read them the Christmas story from the Bible and it was time for lights out! It was a fun traditional night!






Grady was the last one to sleep. He was just SO excited for Santa to come to his house! He was finally asleep by 10:00. Not too bad!
