This Christmas Eve we had lunch with my parents and then left about 2:30 pm to spend the rest of the afternoon as a family. We had planned to go see a Nativity in Salem, but I was hoping it would snow before we left. It had been raining for most of the day and the weather forecast was predicting it was going to start snowing about 8 or 9 pm. It never did started snowing, so we went out snowless to see the Nativity. After the Nativity, we drove home and did our normal opening our new pajamas and reading of the Christmas Story from the Bible.
I usually take pictures of the kids Christmas Eve, but noticed these two ornaments from 2005 with the kids school pictures from that year. Times have sure changed. My kids aren't little anymore.
Sydney is now taller than Deni and if she grows any more will outgrown Ryan and myself. I was lucky to grab this picture of her Christmas Eve 2016. She is beautiful.
As the kids were getting ready to head to bed Ryan says, "I'm a teenager but Christmas morning brings out the inner 8 year older in me."
