Rod had another birthday & it always seems like an uphill struggle to make his day not blend too much with Christmas Eve festivities. So this year we decided that for lunch we would go to one of Rod's all time favorite restaurants here & then to a movie. Ive never gone out on Christmas Eve like this before, but it really did seem to set Rod's day apart. I was hesitant, because I grew up with mass & hot cross buns, so I always lean towards staying in & just cozing up. It was nice though.
When we got home Santa's elves had dropped off new pajamas. The children eagerly dressed in them and then we prepared for our nativity. The nativity is never perfect, but it always invites the spirit and prepares us for the day to come. The children set up their sleepover for the night in Presley's room. They put out cookies, milk & carrots. We let Tre stay up & watch Christmas Vacation for the first time...with its scandalous moments & all. Rod & I were ahead on the wrapping game so all that was left to do was make sure there were no little spies awake and put the gifts under the tree.
