our Shepherd's Supper
New jammies
Donuts, chocolate milk and eggnog.
This year we were crazy and decided to add a new tradition into the mix. Growing up in my family we (kids) always slept in the same room on Christmas Eve. I have such great memories of us waking up early and reading "Five Minute Mysteries" to each other to try to fill the minutes before we were allowed to wake up my parents. So this year we laid out the sleeping bags and let the kids snuggle into the basement. I don't think it was the best plan--they were up until at least 9 (which is LATE for our kids.) Then they were awake at FOUR O'CLOCK in the morning!!!!!! They were wise enough to not wake us up that early, but it did make for some tired kids later in the day. Lincoln slept all through church. We will see if that tradition sticks...
