Merry Christmas Steve!

I was preparing Tucker for the festivities of the day, and explaining that it was Christmas Eve, and he said, "Christmas Steve?" I tried to correct him but was laughing too hard, so all day he said "Merry Christmas Steve!" to everyone. What a silly kid!!

Here's Tucker and Nora Jane with their cousin Jameson, all in their Norwegian Sweaters for Christmas Eve!

Here's the whole family in their Norwegian sweaters.

One of the traditions with Daniel's family on Christmas eve, is to play a game while we eat our pudding. A nut is placed in one pudding, per table. We all pass the puddings around the table while singing Jingle Bells. You stop and eat the pudding that ended up in front of you, and if you find the nut in yours, you get a prize. (usually a large chocolate candy bar.) Tucker one at his table this year. Typically you have to show the nut to get the prize, but we didn't realize Tucker had it, till he started crunching it.

This was at about 11:00pm, trying to get home and put the kids to bed (so I could finish putting toys together!) Just hanging out with the family. The kids were surprisingly delightful!
