We had a nice family breakfast to kick of Christmas Eve and Lucy has been saying “ho, ho, ho” since she woke up. The amount of excitement in our house is at peak levels and we aren’t sure which kid is in the lead.
It was a nice relaxing day at home before getting all dressed up to go into town for what has been our new tradition...listening to Christmas carols in Palmer Square and landing at a restaurant in town for dinner. We tried out a newly opened place called The Meeting House and it was pretty perfect...loud and full of wine. Alex declared it was the best Christmas Eve dinner ever as he shoved his burger in his face. Lucy thoroughly enjoyed her rosemary mac and cheese, but had to fight Mommy for every bite.
The kids got to open presents they got for each other before bedtime, Gemma gave Mommy and Daddy her awesome handmade calendar we have been waiting for, and we tucked them in after ‘Night Before Christmas’ so we could get to work. Alex’s basketball hoop came with an open pack of hardware scattered throughout the box among all the parts. Not exactly what Daddy wanted for Christmas...3 hours later it was fully functional. Pure holiday joy!
