We thought of starting a new tradition this year of going to see a movie Christmas Eve morning. We almost never take our kids to see movies in the theater so they were really excited. The most family friendly movie playing was “Rocket Ralph.”
The show was actually pretty cute and the kids all enjoyed it. Conrad enjoyed climbing up and down the stairs in the theater. It was nice to see some real snow fall down in the afternoon to make it all feel even more Christmasy. That evening we decided to have breakfast for dinner since Seth and I didn’t feel like making a huge fancy spread. The kids were in heaven with fried eggs, bacon, clementines, chocolate milk, and orange juice. After dinner we attempted our first nativity reenactment as a family. It lasted a total of five minutes but all things considering, it was good enough.
(the top left picture is my favorite- Mary is holding baby Jesus upside down, the sheep is wandering away, and the wise man is really stoic)
The kids opened their Christmas stockings from Great-Grandma Thacker and we watched the classic “Muppet Christmas Carol.” The kids were excited to rush up to bed and they were all down before 8!
