Christmas Eve traditions

On Christmas Eve, we have a couple of traditions.  One is from my family, a candlelight reading of the Christmas story along with singing hymns.  Even though the boys don't sing much yet, I still love this tradition.  Nathan was able to do some of the reading this year.  I loved seeing Weston gaze into the candlelight.  Another tradition is having a small party for Jesus, where we each make a "wish" - a New Year's resolution - followed by blowing out a candle.  The boys love this, and you can see that Weston enjoyed his cupcake.  Actually, he sneezed right into his cupcake and got frosting all over the side of his face.  After cupcakes, we let the boys open a present - pajamas (and some other clothes).  I always intend to make the party a little bit more fancy, but once again it was just a really simple party.  Maybe better planning next year.
