Christmas Eve

We all look forward to Christmas Eve at Bebe & Daddy Jim's house. We always take family pictures as soon as we get to their house. During the year we love going back to see how each family has grown and changed over the years. Each year a grandchild helps Bebe light the candles in the den. Over the last few years, Bebe has started a new tradition of handing out small candles and we blow them out after Daddy Jim thanks God for our family and especially for sending Jesus as a precious baby so many years ago. Then we visit over a wonderful dinner. After everything is cleaned up, we all find spots in the den and listen as Daddy Jim reads the Christmas story. Then all the paper starts flying as the children start opening their presents - one at a time.
