This Christmas Eve, we actually made it to Church (40 mins early, we read the schedule wrong). I know it sounds bad but going to church has become quite tough for us as our little additions have come along. They just can't sit still and quiet and we end up hushing them and holding them down most of the time and, Never, hear anything during the mass. The boys fortunately sat pretty well (thanks to snacks) and weren't too loud except for Xzavier thinking they were saying his name every time they said "Savior". It was so funny, he would perk up every time "They Said my Name!". Xzavier also thought the priest was in a penguin costume and kept asking Why?... There was no hiding our lack of attendance at church...

After Church we enjoyed a delicious traditional Christmas Eve Meal with some friends. (Holiday Recipes coming Soon). The kids had fun decorating cookies for Santa and making reindeer dust before it was time for bed.

After a great night with Friends, Christmas Eve was not complete without the story of The Polar Express read by Uncle Jay (over Skype). And Twas the Night Before Christmas read by Dad.
