It has been our tradition since before the kids were born to have our own little Christmas celebration on Christmas Eve morning..so, this year was no exception.
It was simple. Just the way we like it.
The kids open a few simple gifts and we eat breakfast.
Then we enjoy the rest of the day together and of course getting ready for our next Christmas Eve gathering with more family which took place later that evening..
Here a few photos of the kids opening some of their gifts...

We have always kept our gift giving quaint. Not too big, just enough. Just looking at the above photo you can see that. Rocky decided to buy an experience...a father-daughter baking experience. Now, you know I have issues with the ingredients of the box cake and the icing (I'd personally would have bought Nutella in place of the frosting if not making it from scratch,but I do believe this was a very thoughtful gift on Rocky's part. A very sweet idea. I know she will LOVE baking with her daddy, despite the ingredients. This is me letting things go...going with the flow....after all it isn't about me. It's what you do the most of the time that matters.
I love seeing the joy on the kids faces around the light of the Christmas tree. Those little folks are precious little people and our most treasured gifts from God!
Have a blessed day!
Love, Kelly
