Christmas Eve is a huge tradition for my dads family. It is the one day each year when everyone who can gets together, to eat yummy food and drink Christmas punch. Each year we enjoy the Christmas story and nativity put on my the children and if we are good Santa makes his annual appearance. This year didn't disappoint and I believe will be a year that we all will never forget. We were all so grateful to have grandma there even though she didn't know where she was or why she was there or who the people were around her, but she did remember with assistance the words to silver bells. I don't think there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd of over 100, knowing that we probably would never hear her sing this again. Grandma did practice her occupational therapy by helping out Santa and I think she did a mighty fine job.

We always go home to my parents and read the Christmas Story again rather fast, because the kids are always tired by that time. Of course we also enjoyed Christmas Eve PJ time. It was rather late this year and the kids were tired, so we didn't really get any good pictures and Bridget was already in her seat ready to go home when we took them, but at least we got a few pictures. Aidree loved her silky princess like red night gown and she looked so cute too.
How cool that you can have everyone together for Christmas Eve like that! How come there's no picture of you dancing around in your PJs? =)
