Christmas Eve

Justin and I have had a pretty good arrangement worked out since we got married for getting to spend Christmas with everyone. We spend Christmas Eve day with Justin's mom and have a nice Christmas Eve dinner with her. She used to make these big feasts big enough to feed an army. The last couple of years I have made dinner and this year it wasn't quite as nice of a feast that she used to do but it was pretty good. I made fried pork chops, mashed potatoes, milk gravy and biscuits. Then after we have dinner with Kathy we go to my Mom and Dad's house to spend the night. I always make sausage balls for dad so I made those to take with us. 

It has been a tradition in our family for as long as I can remember that everyone gets pajamas on Christmas Eve. I remember being a little girl and most of the time we would drive up to St. Louis to my Mama and Papa's house on Christmas Eve and when we would get there they would already be in bed but they would get up and we would open our pajamas. Now we take our kids to the grandparents house on Christmas Eve to open pajamas. So we went to Mom and Dad's and spent the night so we could all get up and spend Christmas morning together.
