Sage & I wanted to establish some traditions for Christmas Eve. So we both made up lists of activities we'd like to make our traditions. First, we want to go to the Christmas Eve service at church, which we did. My mom, dad, & Jacob came as well. We also decided that we'd have cheese, crackers, & summer sausage for dinner at home... just the two of us. He had egg nog, which I HATE and I had sparkling cider. And of course what Christmas would be complete with watching "A Christmas Story?" Just makes me want a Red Rider beebee gun under the tree; that or a big, pink, footsie, bunny pajama :) And, since we were both getting so anxious to give each other our presents... we went ahead and opened our stockings on Christmas Eve. Next year we want to provide a Christmas dinner for a family in need or Christmas presents for children who won't be getting much. I might be on my own for that if my hubby is in Iraq, but I'll keep the traditions up. It was a wonderful and beautiful 1st Christmas Eve together.
He worked last Christmas Eve-when we were engaged and I was in Ontario at my parents house. We had a HUGE snowfall on Christmas Eve last year and since he was in Boise working till 3am I wasn't sure that he was going to make it to Ontario. God kept him safe and sound, though he said it was a bit sketchy and he made it around 4:30ish. God has blessed us more than we could ever imagine or deserve. We both discussed how the family time and being together trumped any present. Thank you God for our loving family & friends!
