Advent Calendar--Day 24 (Christmas Eve)

This deserves a post all by itself.  Our Christmas Eve tradition is gyoza night with the Mecham's.  Grandpa served his mission in Japan and learned how to make gyoza (pot stickers).  We all get together and help make this yummy dinner. 

After dinner, Grandma and the kids made Christmas mice out of cherries and kisses. 

After some visiting, we had a Christmas program.  Some of the kids played a Christmas song on the piano and some sang.  I think it is so funny that Faythe joined Jeremiah's family in their song.  Then we opened presents.  We got a lot of fun games and a new family Book of Mormon.  This night was also when we presented Grandma and Grandpa with our service project. 

Another Christmas Eve tradition is new pajamas for the kids.  They love this.
