Christmas Eve!

We had a tradition when I was little... we always got to open ONE present from my Grandma on Christmas Eve. And can you guess what it was every year? New pajamas! We loved that tradition, and my mom has taken over since my sisters and I have had kids. We go over to my parents house each year for dinner on Christmas Eve... sometimes we play games, sometimes we just hang out, but always the kids get to open up ONE present from Grandma - NEW PAJAMAS! They love it. I'm so glad the tradition keeps going. Hopefully someday I can carry it on with my own grandkids.

After dinner and opening presents, we played Rockband. The kids thought that was the most fun thing ever! They loved it. I must say, I had fun too (although it took me a minute to catch on to playing the guitar - I missed the initial instructions, so at first I thought I was just really bad, but I figured it out... my fave was drums, though!) We played for a long time, then we headed home so we could get to bed in time for Santa to arrive!

Looks like tons of fun! I'm sad that we miss the fun, but I'm glad you guys had a good time. It's a good thing this wasn't at my house, because I would have had to let Jared in on the no sleeping rule that I try to enforce!! hee-hee

Looks like lots of fun. Cute jammies for the kids and what a fun tradition. I love the pic of the kids trying all the different rock band stuff and of course Jared sleeping.
