Christmas Eve-Eve - Our Family Christmas

Nate, Maddie and Em Xmas MorningXMas Tree
We celebrate our family Christmas on Christmas Eve-Eve morning. It gives the us a chance to have our own small Christmas as a family and hang out during the day and enjoy the presents. We normally do a nice dinner in the afternoon.
Em's picklesEm's DS
Amongst other things, Emily got a a giant jar of pickles and a Nintendo DS.
Maddie's KaraokeMaddie's Fashion Show
Maddie got a Karaoke machine and a ton of clothes (note that leg warmers and tight jeans are back in).
Nate's new guitar
Kids Playing Rock Band
Nate got a real electric guitar and amp along with Rock Band 2 with drums and microphone. This is a blast. I'd played it briefly at the Rays and watched as their whole family would rock out on this game. It was fun watching all three kids play and I can imagine that tomorrow night, my siblings and I will show the rhythm, voice and coordination that some consider special.

We've got a nice dinner planned, followed by a visit to my Dad's house tomorrow.
