Christmas Eve is probably my favorite part of Christmas! I have so many wonderful memories spending time at my Grandpa and Grandma McAllister's house. We would eat a yummy turkey dinner then sit around and eat more treats and watch Nick Jr. until it was time to open presents. We didn't have cable TV growing up so it was a huge novelty to watch TV at my Grandparent's home. Some of our favorite programs were Green Acres and Mr. Ed. So fun! My kids like to watch TV there too and watch old episodes of Tom and Jerry. As we got older we would chat and sometimes play games. My Grandma always had a gift for picking the perfect present for everyone. Mostly we got clothes that were super stylish. Santa would make an appearance about every three years and always had a treat for everyone. We would often have to perform piano pieces for my Grandma. She always loved to hear her grandchildren play the piano. We would also sing Christmas Carols and just have the most wonderful time. Honestly some of my favorite memories growing up are Christmas Eve with Grandma and Grandpa McAllister.
We did a Christmas nativity and Carly LOVES to be Mary and no one else really does so she has become quite the professional. The kids always love to get their jammies. This year they came with slippers that they have worn exactly two times. The girls had a roller skate on them - perfect for our amateur rollerbladers. The boys were a few sizes to big so maybe will we wrap them up and give them to them again next year!
It was a wonderful Christmas Eve!
