It's Tradition

I am so behind on blogging. So this week is catch up week :)
It's tradition to spent Christmas Eve at Dave's parents house. Here are all my nieces and nephews with my kiddos.
It's tradition to get Christmas Jammies on Christmas Eve. In fact the all kids asked,"Can we open our jammies?"
It's tradition to have matching jammies (or at least coordinating jammies) however I was working SO much that I didn't get around to even looking for jammies till a few days before Christmas. I struggled even finding jammies at all!!!! It's tradition to read Christmas stories and read the actually Christmas story together! This year we added the Hawaiian Night Before Christmas!
It's tradition to play musical chimes. One year my wonderful husband made 15 set to give everyone. I must say that they have gotten pretty good. Here is a video of Jingle Bells
It's tradition for the girls to stay up all hours of the night wrapping presents and playing santa. This year was the record till 3 o'clock in the morning. Needless to say there is a rule-the kids can NOT wake up before 6 am!
I love this picture that Dave took of my sister-in-law....my mother-in-law passed out in the background!
It's tradition for the boys to stay up with the girls and play with the kids toys and to play video games. It gets pretty loud and out-of-hand. In fact this year the old girls kept on texting us to keep it down. I am surprised that the kids even get any sleep!

Unfortunately some of our traditions will stop next year. We will not be spending the night there. It's kind of a bittersweet. Kind of excited to have Christmas at our house...by ourselves. We have only had one Christmas at home since the Malulani was born!

We had a wonderful Christmas-the kids got spoiled (not by us) Dave and I stick to 3 gifts usually consists of an outfit, a game, and something they asked for. Well and their santa gift! It's the grandparents that spoiled them rotten!

I hope all of you had a Merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!
