Christmas Eve

The day before Christmas we hung out and played at home during the day. I made my yearly holiday sweet bread and Sofia helped me roll it out and braid it this year. She was excited to help me make the bread since she remembered helping to make it last year. Jason made our dinner a little early and stuck it outside once it was done so that we could go to our friends house for a little while. My friend, Beanie, had invited us over to her house for drinks and hors devours with friends. It was nice to be with our friends on Christmas Eve.While it is nice to have family time it is also nice to celebrate Christmas with other people. I have always celebrated Christmas Eve with extended family. For those of you who know my mom's family, Christmas Eve is a large gathering with lots of laughter and singing. It was nice to keep the tradition of celebrating with extended family even if it is a different family that isn't blood related.
