We had such a great Christmas Eve this year! It started out with the annual "Anderson Family" scone breakfast - so yummy! One of my very favorite traditions and always has been since I was very small myself. It's so fun to have a tradition that I loved as a kid and now I can share it with my own kids - I love it! My sweet sister had it at her house this year and it was yummy! My cousins and uncles came and it was so great seeing everyone that could make it this year :)
Then, later that day, we had a visit from our Morris grandparents to share Christmas with our family to avoid some of the chaos that can be Christmas Day. It was so great for my kiddos to have grandma and grandpa all to themselves for a bit - it was a new idea this year and I loved it! Part of the reason for the change was because Christmas was on a Sunday and everyone had church meetings at different times and it was getting kind of crazy trying to plan when we could all see each other but.. it worked out and was a great day of course!
That evening, we went downtown to see the lights. GORGEOUS this year! It always is but it was especially pretty this year to me - there seemed to be a lot more lights than usual. We went with the Morris grandparents and Uncle Marc - so fun!! (and not too cold actually) Well, except for Rio who kept saying, "burzee" because she insisted on wearing her "Dorothy's" (her red sparkly shoes) instead of her boots - she's turning in to quite a little Diva!

All in all, we had a great time and the kids loved seeing all the lights! It was a brand new sight for them and they really liked it - love, love the traditions :)
