Christmas Eve

The stockings are hung by the chimney with care, with hopes that St. Nicholas soon will be here. The children are nestled all snug in their beds, wondering what tomorrow morning will bring!
We spent most of today at home. Although Glynn and the girls spent a little time this afternoon dropping off Christmas cards and making a few visits. We had quite a few visitors at our door dropping off gifts. The girls were so excited.
We also spent the day tracking Santa by NORAD on Google Maps. Rebekah was absolutely fascinated that we could watch his progress across the map. We started watching at about 10:00 in the morning. Currently, he's in Chile!
We spent the afternoon playing games, watching Christmas shows and sipping cider.
This evening, we had a wonderful ham dinner. I think the favourite, for both girls is always the variety of cheese we have! And breaking Christmas crackers. For dessert, we had homemade pumpkin pie.
Instead of going to church, like we usually do Christmas eve, we skipped it, and went skating as a family. Rebekah is becoming a pretty good skater, and Chloe, who just started a few weeks ago, is able to stand and skate on her own, although slower. So we spent the evening skating, and then we went and looked at the Christmas lights around town.
When we came home, the girls put on their new Christmas pajamas. We watched the Grinch, and read The Night Before Christmas. Then Rebekah and Chloe set on their milk and cookies. I think Chloe may have gone over and sampled them. 
We send our best wishes to you now and in the new year!  Merry Christmas from the Wrights!
