Christmas Eve is when my family has the big dinner. We had ham and cheesy potatoes. We also had 2 different jell-o salads. One for my brother (strawberry and peaches) and the other for my sister (strawberry watergate). One of my favorite things is to set a nice table for dinner. I love the holidays when I can pull out the Christmas dishes.
Courtney and Daren getting ready to eat.
Another tradition at our house is opening one gift Christmas Eve (PJs). I love matching things so this year the kids were sporting very cute pjs from Carters. This year they also got slippers with Mickey and Minnie on them. Pictures were not our strong point as the kids were running away from the camera, except for Macknezee of course.
Courtney and Daren sporting their new PJs too.
Funny side note I called to ask my brother what size he would wear for PJs and he said he didnt like actual PJs. I told him if he wanted to open presents he would have to humor me. Then after he got them he didnt take them off for 36 straight hours!!! I thought we all looked pretty cute in our new duds.
After PJs we read The Night Before Christmas and then the kids, all 5 of them, went to bed. Here is a picture of the stockings hung over the fireplace. Mackenzee was so relieved we have a fireplace so Santa can come down it. This has been a concern in years past.
Mac was home for Christmas Eve and Christmas day this year so he suggested getting a family PJ picture. (My sisters and my pjs are from Modbe and Mac and my brothers are from Old Navy).

Mac and I then went to wrap presents as we had not even started. We were up until 3:30am!!! The good thing was everyone slept in Christmas morning. That was the best present ever!!!
