This morning when the kids woke up they found one present waiting for each of them under the tree.
They were excited to open them (and so far do not seem to have noticed that they always receive pajamas on Christmas Eve)!
We all managed to stay in our pajamas for most of the day and continued the DeYoung tradition of decorating cutout cookies on Christmas Eve. Yes, Dan likes to photobomb on occasion...
With four people ranging in age from 5 to 33, we wound up with a diverse collection of cookies. Can you tell who decorated each one? Bonus points go to the person who figures out the significance of the brown and green gingerbread man (hint: it was made by Dan).
After decorating cookies (and whipping up a delicious batch of peanut brittle) we finally got cleaned up for the Christmas Eve service. Afterward we took the kids out for a drive to view the Christmas lights in Hudsonville. There were some impressive houses this year!
I enjoyed the penguin choir who sang backup to Michael W. Smith!
We are looking forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus tomorrow!
