Christmas is such a wonderful time of the year, not only to we get to reflect on the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, we get to spend time together as a family, creating memories and enjoying the festivities of the season. This Christmas Eve we had a wonderful time with our little family. We started off by going to the movie " Alvin & the Chipmunks Squeakwal" the kids loved it. Then we came home and started our traditional Christmas Eve dinner: Chicken and Steak Fondue, fresh green beans with baby red potatoes, cheese fondue with bread and apples and we topped it off with Chocolate Fondue with strawberries, bananas, apples, brownies and marshmallows. It was wonderful and the kids had a great time. Then we played a few family games together: Bingo and Pictureka. We then read the real christmas story, reflecting on our Saviors birth and then the kids got to open there one gift on Christmas Eve. NEW JAMMIES! They watched Santa on the Santa tracker for awhile, then it was time to get cookies and milk and a letter to santa and they were off to bed with sugar plums dancing through there heads I am sure. Christmas morning they woke up around 6:00 am but they were not allowed to come up and wake us until 7:15. Well at 7:14 and 1/2 they bounded up the stairs and in our bedroom wanting to see if Santa had come.
Christmas time for a child is so magical and fun, only if mom and dad had that same wonderful experience, it truly would be magical.
