We are celebrating Christmas a day early as a family of four. Because we are heading to Michigan for Christmas we decided to celebrate with our little family on Christmas Eve, so that makes the 23rd our Christmas Eve. Growing up we always opened one gift on Christmas Eve and it was always pajamas and a stuffed animal (to help us sleep). We have continued the tradition with our kids. This year instead of buying a stuffed animal for them to open we decided to take them to Build A Bear, so they could make their own. Liam picked a Batman bear and Lilly picked a brown bear, which she decorated with a white dress and silver dress shoes.
After making our bears, the kids and I went to Warsaw to get together with my Aunt Gloria, Uncle David, my cousin Jillian, and her two girls Lorelei and Lucy. Jillian and I have always been close and our kids get along so well. We try to get together at least twice a year. The weather was so warm, the kids actually played outside a lot. It was so nice to get some fresh air.

After supper we let the kids open their pajamas and then take a bath. Liam got dinosaur slippers, which Lilly wanted to try on.
