We love making fun holiday traditions! And Christmas Eve is so much fun! It was a just a chill day but filled with all our favorite things and a few new traditions.
Gingerbread Pancakes for Breakfast! The best way to start Christmas Eve!
We had to check out this really cute website!
Caleb loved this! You can watch elves and Santa feed the reindeer and they list all the children on the Nice List! Caleb was so excited to see the name "Caleb"!
Making cookies for Santa is always so much fun! We always make sugar cookies but Brydon is working hard to convince Caleb that Santa really loves chocolate chip cookies :)
For Christmas Eve dinner, we joined our Bradshaw side of the family. We had so much yummy food we could hardly move! Then we joined them for some of their awesome family traditions.
We all dressed up and acted out the Christmas story. Caleb was Joseph and Brynn was Mary. Caleb took his role very serious and the whole thing was quite hilarious.
Gary makes a great and dramatic angel as he visits the shepherds! Nothing can be too serious at the Bradshaw house.
Brydon, Ethan, and I got to be the 3 kings
The entire cast of our Christmas Story production
The Bradshaw's have this really neat set of chimes and a music book so we could play Christmas carols together. We had a lot of fun doing this. The kids were so intent on not missing their notes!
Check out our amazing musical abilities!
After we got home, we set out our milk and cookies along with carrots for the reindeer and headed to bed. Caleb was so excited he didn't think he could ever fall asleep but fortunately it didn't take too long.
Looks like so much fun! Love how they are your "Bradshaw side of the family", now. Very fitting. :)
