Christmas Eve in our home!

Our Christmas Eve is full of traditions. We start off by having dinner (usually Spicy Chicken wings...this year we opted for take out Chinese!!) and then have a Christmas Devotional. This is a must. It must always be centered around Christ and the true meaning of Christmas. Then after the devotional...we check out the Christmas lights around various neighborhoods. (We took a raincheck on that tradition this year...Hmmmmmm....sounds like the guys were anxious to start the rest of the festivities!) Then we come home and open a few gifts to each other. This is the way it has been our whole married life!

Zach's gift to Tony was a Halloween mask. Pretty scary stuff. They boys will play with this stuff all year long! Tony immediately lit up when he saw Halloween gear.

This is a different look.

Whoa nelly...this is pretty frightening!!!! Now just wait...I bet my Christmas groom will try to kiss me with that thing on his head!

There they are....the lights of my life. How in the world can you be sad around these two cut ups?

Oh yes...the bloody stump of a head just brings out the Christmas spirit, don't ya think?

Awwwww, ain't they cute?!?!?!?

Zach received his 'first toy' of Christmas. A KISS Mr. Potato Head! Doesn't every home need one of those?

He LOVES it! Who wouldn't?

Zach getting into the spirit of a true Kiss Army soldier!

Every Christmas...we have to get new Christmas pajamas. Tony ALWAYS gets Grinch pj's.

He relates so well to that character!!! (Although...through the years his heart has grown three sizes and he is starting to enjoy the season and all the people of WHOVILLE!)

Zach loved his plaid pj's and new house shoes. Doesn't the goofy ears just complement the whole ensemble?

Even Bailey and I got into the act. We sat back and enjoyed a good ol' Christmas movie before bed.

Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas!
