Merry Christmas EVE!!

I cannot believe another year as come and gone and that tomorrow will be Christmas.  It is my favorite time of the year and for the kids.  They get so excited... it is almost impossible for them to want to go to bed.  

Today was a first for our family.... we had a sick member.... making today a little less than perfect.  Steve was sick and in bed all day today making it impossible for us to do some of our yearly traditions: making gingerbread houses, decorating cookies, and hanging out together all day.... cooking.  I spent most of the day in the kitchen while the kids were great and played together and helped when I needed it.
Thankfully around 5, Steve was alive again... not 100% well but at least could get out of bed and come to the table... 

We had our Christmas eve dinner: Greek food.  

Like every year, the kids opened ONE Christmas gift.... although they are too smart for a surprise... they do love getting Christmas jammies!!

Instead of gingerbread houses and cookies..... we had s'mores for dessert with hot chocolate (maybe a new tradition....  it was too much fun!!).

We all cannot wait for tomorrow!!
Well most of us... Steve was able to stay awake long enough to help with s'mores.
Once we finished those up, we snuggled on the couch and watch Christmas movies.... while Steve slept next to the fire... with Ekco and Chupito by his side the whole night.

Once the kids went to sleep- I managed to bring all of the boxes full of presents down the stairs, wrap a few, and put them under the tree... while Steve and the dogs slept... without moving an inch!!
He is lucky he was sick :)

Hopefully tomorrow Steve will be feeling better!!
