So we are full of family traditions, especially around the holidays. Okay...truthfully I don't like to change things up a lot. It's weird. Like last Thanksgiving when we went to Disney World - it was weird. Anyway...our Christmas Eve tradition is to spend it with the Latimer's (Grady, Sachel, Maddie, Monkey Boy, Bertha, Chewie and Rebecca). We have done this since 1993. Historically speaking Christmas Eve has been spent wrapping the 10,000 presents Rebecca has purchased, but not wrapped. This year - we only had to wrap a few on Christmas Eve so that was nice. It left lot's of time for goofing around. I will say that it was a successfull evening as their were no brawls over Polly Pocket dolls and no slapping of anyone (in 15 years, it has been pretty interesting sometimes!).
We had a great evening of playing different games - I terrible game of Taboo which the boys one because they are cheaters. Grady also made what we can refer to as his Christmas Soup......interesting. We opened presents and stayed up until like 1 am, when kids finally realized that Santa was waiting for them to go to sleep to come back to Texas to deliver their stuff. LOL!
