Christmas Eve 2009

Christmas Eve was great. Took Kake to see the new Chipmunk movie, cooked and baked a little. Dinner at Mopsey's house, and then home to read from the Bible, and The Night Before Christmas. It is fun to carry on traditions from when we were children, and make new ones of our own. We made some classic rookie mistakes on our first real Christmas playing Mr. and Mrs. Claus. We started assembling Kate's toys at 11pm and did not finish until almost 3 am! And then realized we forgot to buy batteries for a few things! We are learning! When 8 am rolled around, we sure were tired! I now understand why my parents were so hard to get out of bed on Christmas morn! But, it was all worth the look on that cute little face the next morning.
