Well we made our own tradition. Since I wasn't pregnant or too laid up from surgery, we ended going sledding on the perfect size hill at a park within walking distance from my house. We also invite Kali, Leili, and my mom. We went for about an hour and enjoyed ourselves. Kara did well also, but wasn't too happy about being a human marshmallow.
After sledding, we came back to our house for something to drink. My mom and Kali left and Matt and I laid Kara down for a nap, so we could get ready. We decided to go out for a Christmas Eve meal. We tried Zupas first, but they closed early. We began to doubt if any restaurant would be open. To our surprise, yes there were alot open. We ended up at Chile's for dinner. The food was good once they got the order to come out and for the trouble we got dessert on the house. We enjoyed our waiter so much we tipped him 30%.
After dinner, we came home put Kara in pajamas and watched her finally figure out what a Christmas tree and lights were about. We then watched a movie and went to bed. It was a different, but pleasant and memorable Christmas Eve. Especially since it was Kara's first!
That is my kind of Christmas Eve. No hussel and bustle
