Christmas Eve, La Noche Buena






Christmas Eve traditions...
Everyone gets to open one present Christmas Eve...This year we all got pajamas! Surprise!
Shepherd's dinner by starlight(candles, tree lights and star lamps),
Read the Christmas story in Luke 2,
Cuddle up on the couch and watch Joy to the World and Mr.Krueger's Christmas,
Sing carols before family prayer,
Cookies, notes, and a V8 Splash for Santa...a carrot for the reindeer,
Andy and I watch It's a Wonderful Life after the kids go to bed!
The kids are always so happy and smiley, helpful, loving and super sweet every Christmas Eve. It reminds me how wonderful having a family is...a little bit of heaven on earth. We did enjoy la Noche Buena, the good night.

Becca, Your Christmas eve sounds just like ours. I didn't know anyone else did a shepherd's dinner.
