Christmas Eve

'Mary' & 'Joesph'

The snow made for one of the best Christmas' I've ever had. I baked most the day all of my family's traditions from popcorn balls, sour cream cookies, to Spicy French dressing for our veggie tray. The only sad part was that our friends were suppose to come eat dinner with us but because of the snow people were pretty much coupe up in their homes all weekend. Just behind our house we saw 4 cars get stuck within a matter of a few minutes from each other. After that, we didn't see any cars driving for the next two days.

We started some new traditions too seeing that it was our first Christmas all alone. Almost everyone I know does the Pj's on Christmas Eve thing, so we started that. We did our usual reading and acting out the nativity. Something else we started was on Christmas day after all the presents had been opened we gathered the girls together. It was later in the day after they had a lot of time to play with their new toys. We talked once again about why we have Christmas. We talked about all that our Heavenly Father has blessed us with. Then we wrote down what our gift to Jesus was going to be. After we each wrote down what it was we were going to give back to him for the year, we put it in special box and will then open it next Christmas.

Christmas Eve dinner. Texas style with BBQ brisket!

This is a random photo of Harley on Christmas Eve but for all you Twilight fans doesn't she look like a vampire?!?! You know when Edward sparkles in the grove when the sun shines on him?!?!
