This year we celebrated Christmas Eve at the Bormann's. It was such a fun afternoon and evening! We started out with some pictures and then went to the 2:30 Christmas Eve service at Lord of Life Church in Maple Grove. The kids did great in church. Bishop loved coloring, the girls had a good time giggling together, and Jack fell asleep!
After church we came back, had some appetizers, hung out, had dinner and opened presents. This year we had the kids open some of the presents in stages--it really helped reduce the chaos of everyone opening presents at the same time! This way they could enjoy the presents as they opened them too! They started with their gift from Great Marlys--everyone got a new scooter and they all tried them out in the basement!
After all the gifts were opened and played with we went home to get some sleep so Santa could come!
