Celebrating Christmas Eve as just our family was a new thing for us this year. We have always been with grandparents and other relatives on this day. This year Joe had to work until early afternoon. While he was at work the kids and I had fun wrapping the last gifts, singing all the Christmas songs we could think of and making our special dinner. We wanted to have a nice almost formal dinner for Christmas Eve. The kids always love it when we use the "good" dishes and glass glasses, so this was to be part of the dinner. On our menu was Corned Beef Roast, Scalloped Potatoes, Lettuce Salad, and Green beans. Sparkling Juice to drink and Cheese cake for dessert. It was a very nice meal. I love it when the kids use their manners and it is just a wonderful time!
After dinner we had a lesson about Jesus and how Christmas is to celebrate his birthday. We read the story of his birth out of the book of Luke.
After the Christmas lesson, the kids were both given their Christmas Eve present to open. As a child receiving pajamas on this night was one of my favorite traditions. So, we kept it around!

Over all we had a very relaxing Christmas Eve together as a family.
