the eve of christmas eve

We started a tradition this year that on the eve before Christmas eve we would all sleep around the Christmas tree. For now that means we sleep around a 12in. tinsel tree but one day it will be a real pine tree. We rented Kung Fu Panda 2 for the kids. Conrad was really tired so we thought he'd fall asleep pretty quick, but just a few minutes into the movie he was up and moving around showing us his kung fu skills. It took a while to get him calm down after the movie, but it was so fun and worth the late night. I think I will always look forward to this night as the kids continue to grow. -Katie
