It all starts with decorating the Christmas tree in the morning. You can ask my mom why we wait that long to put it up. Only she knows the answer.
We dress nice, meet up with family, and go to church. We were nice and did not make Noah wear his Sunday clothes.
When we come home it is already time to open presents!
After opening enough presents to make the kids happy, we eat dinner. Fondue, of course. We eat, and eat, and eat. While the kids play with their new toys. We sing Christmas songs and act out the nativity story.
Emily, Jochen, and Lynn as Mary, Joseph and Baby Jesus
We open more presents and sing 'Happy Birthday' to Jesus. Then we bring the kids to bed and ... are very tired.
All Noah wanted for Christmas was a fireman suit like Eric,and that is what he got. He was sooooooooooooo excited. He hasn't taken it off since.
It was beautiful. Not very calm or quiet, but wonderful. The next morning, we sleep in.

Sounds wonderful! Thanks for sharing your traditions and I love the earrings you were wearing in the first pic. We're excited to see you all again....though not excited to be going home to so much snow and the cold! Have a safe trip home. :)
Very fun that was more exciting that our Christmas. I love Noah's new fireman suit. Merry Christmas
