Some friends from church invited us all over for Christmas Eve dinner. My friend's parents were in town and their tradition is to have a Swedish Smorgasbord, so that is what we had. I brought a veggie tray and Swedish Almond Cake. The adults ate first (in peace) while the kids were outside playing on the trampoline. Then we fixed plates for them and they ate outside. Later, we all came in to watch a nativity video, read Luke, and listen to the Night Before Christmas. The kids opened a gift. Lexi & Jordan got a gift certificate to McDonalds. That is a special treat because I never take them there. Before heading out, all of the kids decorated sugar cookies for Santa.
We went home, got the kids in the pjs, and set out the cookies for Santa. Then Lexi and Jordan went with Steve to spend the night at his apartment. He'll bring them back in the morning so we can spend Christmas here.
