Christmas Eve Festivities

December 24th 

On Christmas Eve we went to Nathan's mom's house for dinner and presents. We decided to make it an annual tradition to play a Christmas present game. A present (cash and lottery tickets) was wrapped multiple times. To make it challenging the person opening had to wear gloves. We each rolled the dice to see who would unwrap each time. The person who opened the present at the end was the winner.  

After presents, we took the babe home to start our Christmas family traditions. We decorated our sugar cookies and attempted to read Christmas stories to a very tired girl. We tracked Santa on Norad, and then  Natalie was off to bed. Although it was a little sad without Gabriel, it was nice knowing we would be able to sleep in since Natalie didn't really understand what was in store for her in the morning!

The gloves were a little too easy so we switched to oven mitts.
