One of my favorite things we have done here in Georgai is to go to our ward's Christmas Eve program. It is music and narration and is so beautiful. Our boys were in one of the choirs this year singing "O Holy Night." They were't thrilled with the choir robes (especially especially as there was a bow on them), but it was beautiful and I think they had a good experience.
We decided to go out to dinner this year for Christmas Eve. In Utah we always went to my parents so we have not tradition for Christmas Eve. It was fun to go out and...no mess to clean up.
When we got home, the kids all opened their pajamas.
Then we read some of our favorite Christmas stories.
And played games. This game was a total hit. They passed around dice, when they rolled doubles they had to put on gloves, ski goggles and a hat and open a wrapped candy bar until the next person rolled doubles. It was so fun!
The last part of the challenge was to get the candy bar in their mouths...with butter knives.
As you can see, our boys are talented and they did it.
We then played a game where they all started with a present. We read a poem and they had to pass the present to the right or left based on what the poem said.
Some how (magically) they each go what Josh bought for them. He just bought crazy gifts from a store called Five Below.
Hunter's was the funniest and he loved it.
Christmas Eve is so wonderful. It's definitely one of the things I look forward to most about the holidays.
