Christmas Eve

This year, our friends invited us to spend Christmas Eve with their family. It was one of the best Christmas Eves I have ever had. We made our own pizzas and had some delicious lasagna. Along with yummy cheese dips and desserts. After dinner, the kids made "Jesus Cakes". I had never heard of this, until Nate's cousins mentioned that they did it every year, growing up. It is such a cute idea and I think the kids really enjoyed making them! The kids also acted out the nativity story. I was a little hesitant when I heard we were doing this, because I didn't think the kids could focus long enough to do it, but it actually turned out really cute! Then we sang songs and Julie read a Christmas story. We even had a special visit from Santa! It was so fun watching the kids reaction, and I even got excited when I saw him at the door. I felt like we really got into the Christmas Spirit this year and I am so grateful to the Harris' for letting us be apart of it!
