Last year we celebrated the eve of Christmas at the Lunt's and even though it was REALLY fun, we all decided that this year we should celebrate "Christmas Eve" the 23rd instead of the 24th. It was too chaotic trying to leave at a reasonable hour and do all our own family traditions before putting the kids to bed the 24th. Having it the night before was WAY better and much more relaxing. We didn't feel like we needed to rush home and really enjoyed the evening much more.
We started by singing carols to all the neighbors from the back of the trailer Craig pulled around with his truck. It was REALLY cold (for Texas), so it didn't last too long. I was a HUGE advocate for heading back to the house sooner than later as my pregnant belly longed for a comfy couch and not a bumpy wooden trailer. It was still fun and the kids loved it!
Then we had our talent show. Sadie sang songs with all the girls and then played a beautiful arrangement of Silent Night for everyone on the piano.
Craig came out dressed like Santa but didn't fool anyone. Sadie and Jack knew it was him but had fun playing along. Jack told him he wanted "Lego Movie" Legos and then sang "Everything is Awesome" until it was the next kid's turn.
Very fun night with some of my favorite people. Love our "family" here in Austin!
