Christmas Eve at the farm

Our Christmas Eve tradition is to go to the farm to celebrate and have dinner. It has become a much anticipated night. This year did not disappoint. We discussed how significant the birth of Jesus is, and attempted to sing carols on the way to the farm! Upon arrival, the kids excitement increased ten fold! However now that the kids are getting older, Anthony and I do find ourselves less stressed., lol. Anthony is on-call this holiday, but a Christmas miracle is that he made it through dinner, fellowship and presents before getting called to the veterinary clinic. The Christmas dinner was delicious. Everyone contributed a side to the amazing prime rib that Uncle Clay and Papa prepared. Then Christmas presents, cookies, desserts, and playing completed the time at the farm. The night was still young for Mommy and Daddy......
