Every year we switch holidays with our families and this year we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with my parents, my sister and her husband, and my brother. We have also tried to start a tradition of hosting Christmas Eve at our house when we are in Houston, which has been the case for the last 3 years. There is something so magical about Christmas Eve and I absolutely love having our families over to celebrate. We make a big, fancy dinner and use our wedding china - no expense or time spared for this dinner party!
We went to the early church service on Christmas Eve (thanks bubba!) and we attempted to get a family picture in front of the gorgeous tree - no such luck for us this year.
After church, it was home for a quick dinner for Colin and bathtime and bedtime. Even Christmas Eve cannot mess up our bedtime routine too much, ha! We wanted to make sure he wouldn't sleep too late on Christmas morning and that he would wake up a happy boy.

After Colin went to bed we all sat down for dinner. Hopefully next year my little man will be able to stay up for dinner - he had a grilled cheese this year and that was probably just as good as our prime rib (at least to him!).
