Christmas Eve Morning

Every year, we spend Christmas Eve with Mom and Dad Hofheins and the whole family. This year we thought that we'd start in the morning so we could be home earlier to have our own traditions with our own little families. We had a big breakfast, did a program-including the nativity, and then opened presents. We had so much fun!

The night after Jerrica was born, was Christmas Eve. Ty, Jer, and I stayed the night at my Mom and Dad's, who even gave up their bed that night so that we'd be more comfortable. Jerrica was so fussy, and hardly slept that night. I was exhausted, so my Mom took a turn holding and rocking her. She said that she sat next to the tree and Jerrica just stared at the lights. So, every year on Christmas Eve, Grammy and Jerrica rock in front of the Christmas Tree. It is a sweet tradition, and even though Jer is getting almost too big for her lap, it is so sweet to watch them both.
