Christmas Eve Dinner

Every year it is a tradition to have a wonderful Christmas Eve dinner at grandmommy's house. She decorates the table beautifully and everyone gets dressed up nice for the evening. It's no secret that I'm not a big fan of thanksgiving food, but our Christmas Eve food is another story. It is all my favorite things all in one meal. After dinner, we get all the kids dressed up and they perform the nativity play. Ashton was Joseph this year and Jayne was Mary. We had practiced his part and by the time it came to the play, he was being a stinker. He wouldn't say his part, but he sat by the cradle and played with the baby Jesus the entire time. He was really cute and it is always fun to see the kids dressed up and remembering the real reason for Christmas. After the play we get to just relax and enjoy each others company. Ashton was so excited I didn't get him to bed till almost ten. Christmas Eve will always be one of my favorite family traditions.

*The funniest picture of the evening was Ashton when he was all dressed up in his Joseph costume. He didn't want to walk into the room on Que so he bent down and put his head on the floor and looked like he was saying a prayer. We all got a good laugh and then he finally moved over to the nativity set.
