Christmas Eve had to be a little different this year. For as long as I can remember we have always celebrated Christmas Eve at my Grandpa and Grandma Hadley's house. Since Grandpa and Grandma are celebrating this year in heaven (I know my Grandpa is so thrilled to finally be there with my Grandma) we had to come up with a different plan. We decided to start the night off by meeting at Grandpa and Grandma Wyatt's house for a visit. We sang some Christmas songs and a few of the kids played a couple christmas songs on whatever instrument they are learning right now. Kade played his clarinet, Em played her saxaphone and Spencer played Grandpa's trumpet because his was home in Gunnison. I thought it was great. We had a nice visit and it was a great start to our evening.
Then we went to Grandpa Tom and Grandma Barb's house for dinner and a little Christmas Bingo. We ate a yummy ham dinner. The kids were pretty excited to play Bingo due to the large bowl of presents that could be won. Everyone played and it was fun.
I thought our first ever Christmas Eve on our own turned out great. We definately missed Grandpa and Grandma Hadley but knowing where they are and the magnificent celebration they are probably having this year...you can't feel too bad about them not being there. It was a great night.Merry Christmas Eve!!!
