We stayed in for Christmas Eve at my parents and began the night with a gift exchange from Grammie while she read "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Every time the kids heard Santa say "Ho, ho, ho" or the word Santa they had to swap the gifts they were holding. It was a cute game for them to play and they ended up getting a movie and some treats to eat while dinner was being prepared.
SWITCH!!!
In years past our family has either gone out for Chinese, or ordered in and played games and watched movies. Some of our stomachs can no longer handle Chinese very well so we opted on switching it up a bit and maybe starting a new tradition of a Fiesta-style dinner! My brother, Bryce and I cooked a feast together and had a great time planning, shopping and cooking together!
The children being silly with daddy while they wait for dinner!
The Feast:
Fresh pico de gallo, guacamole, sweet shredded pork, fish tacos, beans and rice, fresh pineapple and all of the fresh fixings to go along with it. It was MUY BUENO!!!!
Good Night Santa!!!
No Christmas Eve would be complete without writing Santa a letter and leaving him and his reindeer some milk, cookies and carrots!
And of course, going to bed excited to see what Santa wrote back!
