Christmas Eve 2008

Townsend Family Traditions


Olive Garden for Christmas Eve dinner


We decided to bring back an old family tradition of actually acting out the nativity...we said it was for Kate's sake...but I think everyone had a lot of fun doing it. Especially Ryan and Michael who were getting into Sheep/Donkey wars the whole time.

Our favorite Christmas tradition....MATCHING PAJAMAS!!





Ryan enjoying the wassil he made himself. This will probably be a new tradition.
Mom didn't get a lot of Christmas decorations out since she was so busy with the wedding, so we finally got the nativity out.
Milk and cookies for Santa. After we went upstairs to go to bed, Kate said, "Santa is going to eat his cookies all gone and then put his plate away."
And then it was off to bed with visions of sugar plums dancing in our heads...
