We attended Christmas Eve church service this year and then went to our annual Chinese dinner with my parents. When I was growing up, one of the places we lived was a smaller town, and the only restaurants open on Christmas Eve were Chinese ones. The tradition stuck so that is what we still go and do today for Christmas Eve dinner! Sandra joined us and the kids opened their traditionally new Christmas Eve pajamas. This year, everyone received reindeer onesies! The girls watched the movie "Santa Claus" in our room and spent the night, another tradition. Juan worked Christmas Day but enjoyed opening his presents before going to work. It is difficult to get teens to cooperate for pictures as much as we want, but we got one of them opening their new pajamas. My parents put together a fun basket of presents for the kids to open on Christmas Eve and a ring toss game that allowed them to earn money. They are always trying to think outside the box and make things fun for the kids!
