I love Christmas Eve! It is my family's tradition to celebrate family, food, Santa claus, and best of all, the true spirit of Christmas! My mom and dad always do to much for us. My dad always presents a spiritual part for us all. This year was extra special!
My mom had written letters to every child and grandchild and it was a very emotional night. My dad presented us each with a gift him and my mom had decided on before she passed away. Wow, it was very hard, but I was sure glad to be with my family during such a special night. My mom was missed so much... we all went to the cemetery later that night to put a rose on her grave and to light a candle. It was sooooo cold and super windy but my dad said who would like to make a snow angel by grandma? As he fell into the snow to make an angel, Kailey said she wanted to and so did Uncle Justin. It was neat, I just wish I would have had my camera!
This is the famous train that Uncle Justin leads all the grand kids in every Christmas. They look forward to singing as they prance around the room doing the train.
My sneaky mom was able to get this amazing bear for my dad (with some help) without him knowing. She knew that he wanted it for years, and wanted to get it for him as a gift from her to show how much she loved him. It was neat to have that delivered on Christmas Eve and watch my dad's expression as he read her card.
