Throughout the month of December, we enjoy a special Christmas tradition passed on from Jason's family. We call it Advent or "Preparing out Hearts for Christmas". Each Sunday and Christmas Eve we light a candle, read scriptures, and sing Christmas songs. It helps us remember that our Savior, Jesus Christ, is the real reason for the season.
Of course, we also enjoy our other Christmas traditions each year. We had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner--ham, au graten potatoes, rolls and peppermint ice cream pie. So yummy! The kids opened up the traditional Christmas Eve present which is always new pajamas. Christmas morning came with much excitement and some sickness! Parker was not feeling well at all, but we did let him come downstairs long enough to see what Santa brought and open his presents. The kids were spoiled as usual and I think they got everything they wanted plus some!!! Kelsey spent the day listening to all her new CDs, Connor spent the day shooting his new BB gun and Parker spent the day in bed playing with his Iron Man repulser. It was a nice day spent together as a family.
