For my birthday, Corey made me chicken cordon bleu for dinner and angel food cake with strawberries and whipped cream for dessert. Yum!
When the older kids were little, we used to read a Christmas book to them every night and sing a Christmas song by the Christmas tree. I'm not sure how it happened, but this year it worked out that we did that almost every night after not doing it for several years. I'm glad we revived that tradition.
We ended up buying two sets of these Gingerbread houses, one was for our Secret Santa family so we used the other one for ourselves. It was a fun activity for the kids to do before Christmas. Corey and Westley were both working.
Nathan was super sleepy apparently. We also did our chicken nugget and applesauce lunch on Christmas Eve day. The tradition is that on Christmas Day, after coming home from the hospital, the only thing they found to eat was chicken nuggets and applesauce. So that became a tradition for the King family. Only it happened while Corey was on his mission so he wasn't really part of the tradition. The rest of the family does it for the Christmas Eve dinner. But I didn't want to change my tradition of a nice Christmas Eve dinner, which we always have ham and scalloped potatoes and chocolate cream pie, so we do this for lunch.
We found an eggnog recipe online that turned out pretty good!
