Christmas Eve Eve

Dec. 23rd or Christmas Eve Eve is our family night!! We have made it a tradition that we will do something as a family because the holidays get so busy with extended family. The past 2 years we have had lots of snacks for dinner (pizza rolls, salami, cheese, popcorn, nachos, etc.) Well, this year, Grandma Roth is having lots of that food at her house for Christmas Day, so we didn't want to have it 2 days before. So..... WE ORDERED PIZZA! You can never go wrong with Pizza! So, we ate pizza, played a bit, and then watched The Grinch that Stole Christmas. Whatever version we watched was only 30 minutes and it was perfect. All 5 of us sat on the couch in the basement and all 3 kids actually watched the movie. Then, it was off to take baths.

It's our tradition to give the kids some type of little present on this night. Last year they all got books. So, after baths we gave them their presents to open....New striped PJ's! Aren't they cute! Then, off to bed. Tomorrow brings a busy day at the Balzer's and then Christmas Day at the Roth's!
