We woke up to about a foot of snow on the ground on Christmas Eve. It was so beautiful but it did make me a little worried about my Dad who was driving down from Armstrong that day.
Christmas Eve was a lovely relaxing day with Ryan at home. We had a late breakfast - snowman pancakes decorated with chocolate chips and whipped cream.
Our tradition is that the kids are allowed to open one gift on Christmas Eve. We usually do it in the evening but we've found it's kind of rushed with having an early dinner and going to the Christmas Eve service and then coming home, having them open their gift and trying to get them off to bed. So this year, we let them open their gift in the early afternoon so that they would have time to play with it. They all chose to open one of the gifts they had gotten each other.
Papa arrived safely and had fun decorating the millions of sugar cookies we had made.
As it turns out, we needn't have worried about having to rush off to church, because it was cancelled due to the snow. I was sad to miss the Christmas Eve service but we enjoyed a nice quiet evening at home.
Here's the tree, ready and waiting for the kids to wake up early Christmas morning.
