It’s Christmas Eve! I was giving this some thought last night, and I’ve come to the conclusion that I enjoy Christmas Eve more than Christmas Day.
On Christmas Day, you have opening presents and a big dinner. Really nice stuff, but not really a whole lot going on. Plus, the wonderful, delicious anticipation is over at that point. Christmas Eve, there’s so much more to do and to look forward to. In my family, it’s tradition to go out to lunch on Christmas Eve at someplace nice. Now, it’s not so much lunch this year as it is dinner because for some reason no restaurants in Reno want to open before 5pm on Saturdays. And of course, there’s going to church. Nothing beats church on Christmas Eve. After church, we drive around to look at Christmas lights on the way home. Then? You get to open one present each before sending the wee ones to bed. The adults stay up and play Santa. Then you go to bed, tired but happy and actually for once looking forward to waking up in the morning. :lol:
Update: The dog is fine, back to her old self. She still won’t eat dog food, heaven forbid. But she’s no worse for the wear. Seriously, that is one lucky dog.

This is me. I'm a thirtysomething stay at home mom to three kids. For years I was a stay at home mom to one kid and trying very hard to have more. It took a LONG time (ie: 6 1/2 years), but finally Liam arrived and charmed us with his blue eyes and ginormous, round head. Then we got a shock: I was pregnant again and this time it was a GIRL. Our hearts and home are full at last and now that we're done having babies, we get to relax (snort) and watch them grow (not too fast now, you hear?). Thanks for coming by, feel free to dip into my archives, read my About and History pages (just don't do Jackson's Story without tissues!) and make yourself at home.
