We decided to have the kids open the presents that they got from their cousins on Christmas eve. This was a great idea because then they could really see what they got and enjoy it instead of waiting for the chaos of Christmas morning. Each cousin drew a name and got someone a gift.
We have a great tradition of going to my parents home for a delicious meal on Christmas eve and then we have a little Christmas program that includes all the grandkids getting dressed up in all the manger scene characters. My sister Sara has taken this all each year and always makes sure each child has a part and a cute costume. It was no different this year, the kids looked so cute. I can't wait for next year to see how she dresses up her cute little twins!
