Away in a manger... one of my favorite Christmas songs...so this year we spent Christmas Eve in a barn! Complete with cows & carols. What a memorable way to celebrate Jesus' Birthday. The kids were talking about how noisy it was with the cows in the barn... just to think about what it must have been like in Bethlehem. So thankful we did this but we did miss our traditional love feast at our church. We even ran into one of the kids teachers! 
This was the year of the Paul Frank pajamas. It has been a family tradition to get new pj's on Christmas eve & this year Caden asked if instead of special Christmas ones we could have some that he saw at Target. 
So I guess you could say we just monkeyed around on Christmas morning. The kids put out milk & cookies for Santa and he left them each 3 gifts. Caden got a sole skate, rc helicopter, and a monkey pillow pet. Alli received a sewing machine, password journal and a dog pillow pet. After checking out Santa...YaYa, Granddaddy, Aunt Debbie & Uncle Jay all joined us for breakfast & we opened some presents. This year the kids made picture frames for all of the family! After sharing our gifts we hit the road to head to Gran & PaPa's.
