Snow on Christmas Eve

Who would have thought we would have snow in Texas on Christmas Eve! We had a great time playing in it. Of course we couldn’t stay out long because we don’t have boots or any snow clothing. We had a snowball fight, Renée made a snow angle, and we went sledding on BYU dining trays. Jinx loved the snow and kept rolling around in it.
We also made sugar cookies and decorated them. I kept meaning to do it earlier but we never got around to. Carter ate more than he decorated, Renée added way to many decorations, and Gavin got it just right this year.
Our traditional Christmas Eve dinner is Chicken fried shrimp as and appetizer, cordon bleu, baked potatoes, and broccoli with cheese sauce. We do it by candlelight and the kids really get a kick out of it. Then we act out the nativity story and have headdresses for each part. The kids each got to open a present and it was new PJs. Sam read the kids The Night Before Christmas and then they all went to bed. Gavin and Renée decided to sleep together that night. It was really cute when I checked on them. They were sleeping on opposite sides of Gavin’s twin.
