Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve in Southern California this year with the Higham's.  Even though there were 8 of us siblings together, it felt like a small group.  Don't get me wrong, there were a lot of people and lots of noise, but we definitely missed all that family that wasn't there.  We had the traditional Higham Family dinner of tacos and root beer floats.  And then Santa brought some presents early (pajamas of course).  We then read "How the Grinch Stole Christmas".  And ended the night thinking about the true meaning of Christmas with songs and acting out the Nativity.  It was a fun filled night.  We are so glad that we live close so that we can enjoy the holidays with family.
