Christmas Eve



Every year we spend Christmas Eve with my family.  Matt's family always has there party before the 25, so it works out perfect.  My family always has their Christmas Eve dinner with a selection of soup and salad.  I always look forward to my Aunt Leslie's Cheesy Chicken soup, It is so good!  After dinner we all gather for the Anderson's Christmas Program.  This is where we have stories and music.  We also always include the nativity scene.  Usually Joseph and Mary is always the couple who has the newest baby.  This year it was Matt, me and Addie.  Tate was a wise man, although I think he disappeared and went off to play with toys in the middle of the play?  


This year was extra special because Santa Clause came.  This was always the tradition we had when I was young and living at home.  It was really fun to have Santa come back.  Tate especially likes Santa Clause.  He was so excited when Santa walked in the door that he kept tripping over himself to get over to greet him.  Tate was also very anxiouss to get his gift that Santa had in his big red bag.  Every time Santa pulled out a gift Tate was right there to receive it.  As poor Tate's luck had it, he was last to have his gift pulled out of the bag.  It was pretty cute though.  (I have this all on video I just have to figure out how to get the videos on my blog).
