Christmas Eve


 What a beautiful day it was.  Betsy had to work in the morning, which actually ran a little longer than she thought because Steve had her do the last AP run of the year (was not on the calendar).


It was such a beautiful day that we decided to take Jessica and Tate and Marissa down to the walking bridge.  As you can see from the photos, we didn't even need coats the day before Christmas.  Robert had to work today, be he has the evening off.  



Christmas Eve is full of traditions.  Everything from what we eat, to where we eat and even to what we wear to eat.  Betsy makes a very special Christmas Eve dinner of un-leven bread, salmon, chicken kabobs, rice, Mediterranean vegetables, crab dip, (I can't even remember everything I made) but it was all delicious.  We ate on a blanket in a candle lit room dress in shepherd clothes and recounted the story of Jesus' birth.  We are so lucky to be Christian's and members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  We count our blessings every day!

After dinner we sing songs by the camp fire and sat around the tree to open our "one" Pre-Christmas Present.  This year the boys got red shirts and grey plaid fleece pajama bottoms and the girls got red and white striped tops with Red bottoms.  CUTE!!!

It's so fun having these love birds here
