Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve dinner we had both sets of grandparents over for a simple evening. Since Christmas Eve is also my birthday, we used to spend the evening at my parents' house and have a small family birthday party. However, now that we have kids it's much easier to have Christmas Eve at home so we can still observe some of our favourite rituals, like putting out cookies and milk for Santa (and carrots for the reindeer!) and donning special new Christmas PJs.

A few photos:

We have much better pictures than this, but somehow this one makes me giggle...all the looks on their faces are so typical:
