I am just getting around to posting about our Christmas. Every year we spend Christmas Eve with my dads side of the family. [There are about 25 of us] We eat, sing songs, read Christmas Scriptures, and end the night reading The night before Christmas. After we read the Night Before Christmas that is when all the kids get to open their gifts! When the kids are done with their gifts, its the adults turn and we do a gift exchange. That's always the fun part of the night! It starts to get entertaining when people start stealing gifts from each other and "threatening" people to not take the gift they got...

I love my family!!
After we are done at our grandparents house we head over to my parents house. We open our gifts at midnight at home! Its my moms tradition from when she was growing up in Chile and kept the tradition going with us and we have enjoyed it ever since! We got to my parents at 10:00 pm and of course had to wait until midnight so to make the time go by we watched The Dark Night. While we were watching the Dark Night we started hearing people singing at our front door and knocking on the door! At first we were kind of freaked out because it was 11:45 pm and didn't know who would come over that late on Christmas Eve so when we opened the door to our surprise it was....
Santa dropped by for a quick visit right before we opened his presents :]
We had a very simple Christmas and I really enjoyed it! I love spending time with my family and reflecting on the real meaning of Christmas.
