This years Christmas Eve, was TOTALLY different then it normally is! Usually we celebrate Christmas Eve at my parent's house. We always meet around 3 and let the kids decorate a Christmas tree with Grandpa (my dad). Then we have a yummy dinner, do the nativity, and then the Christmas elf knocks on the door, and brings all of the kids their Christmas PJ's. Well, this year my brother's appendix decided to burst a few days before Christmas. He lives in Vegas, and we all know that he wanted to have my parents all to himself for Christmas!!(: Just kidding Dave! He ended up having major surgery, so my parents went to Vegas to be with him and his wife. He is doing great, and we are SO glad that everything went well. We love you Dave and Linds. So without my parents here, we really didn't know what to do for Christmas Eve. When Mike got home from work, we decided to load up the kids and head to IHOP for dinner (so yummy!...said totally sarcastic!) after that we went and visited with my grandma, Jason and Lorelei, and my aunt Beth who was visiting. Then we headed home. The Christmas Elf still found us and brought PJ's for the kids. Once we were all snugly, we watched the newer version of Miracle on 34th street, and then went to bed. It ended up being a really nice Christmas Eve. We missed being with everyone, but it was nice to be together with our little family too.
