The week leading up to Christmas Break is always insanely busy, busy, busy! I am usually planning and in charge of the kid's Christmas parties at school. We are wrapping up any last minutes presents and making lots of yummy dishes to bring to our family celebrations.The kids are bubbling over with the excitement that Santa will be at our house in a few days!

As I mention every year, we are lucky enough to spend Christmas Eve with the Grothaus family and Christmas Day with the Ossege Family. We spend Christmas Eve at my Uncle Dick & Aunt Lois' house. We have the best time playing our favorite Christmas games...Christmas Lotto and Quarters!

The kids received many wonderful and thoughtful gifts, Lexus especially LOVED her basket of crocheting stuff. She was a natural and had quite a long scarf going by the end of the night.

Our Christmas Eve family tradition is for Randy to read the "Night Before Christmas" to the kids before we tuck them into bed to dream of Santa coming and the surprises that will be waiting under the tree for them. We also track Santa throughout the night using NORAD Santa Tracker.
