Christmas Eve

Our tradition on Christmas Eve generally entails, church, opening one gift each, reading Twas the Night Before Christmas and now putting out cookies for Santa. Since I am in the hospital, Brandon had to take care of making sure these traditions were carried out... unfortunately we did have to skip out on church this year, but I think God will understand!

Branson really wanted a Diego for Christmas... luckily Brandon found this Diego Electronic Journal. Branson loved it!

We read Twas the Night... all week so that Branson would be able to help me recite it on Christmas Eve. It was too cute! Then as we were wrapping up the reading, Nana was in the hallway with bells. Branson's face lit up when he heard the bells and he rushed to get ready to go home to get to bed so Santa would come. It was too cute! The Hurst Family Traditions that I grew up with continue and it was fun to be able to watch the excitement on his face!Once home, Daddy and Branson put out cookies for Santa and apples and carrotts for Rudolph before climbing into bed!Brandon had to play Santa's elf by himself and did a great job building the four wheeler and Batman cave!
