With Christmas Eve falling on a Sunday this year our church held services at the normal times, so we attended the candlelight service at 10:00 am! We didn't have much else planned for the day, which was wonderful! We spent the afternoon watching Christmas movies, having dinner at our traditional spot Little Italian, and putting out milk and cookie for Santa. :)
We had a fun Christmas morning at home opening presents, drinking coffee and eating cinnamon rolls and bacon!
Later that morning we packed up and headed to my parents house in Crystal Lake to celebrate with my Grandma (GeeGee) and Aunt Mar! Wish I had gotten more pictures from the day but it was so great to see both of them and to chat!
The next day we enjoyed our cousin celebration with my parents and the Baum family! Always one of my very favorite days of the year! We all missed our traditional Nick's Pizza dinner this year as they were unfortunately closed that day but made up for it at Giordano's!
Later that week, the girls and I went to tea at the Drake Hotel in Chicago with Nate's Aunt Nancy as a Christmas gift to the girls. We all loved it so much that we're thinking about making it an annual tradition!
