On Christmas Eve, my mom came over in the morning and then the kids opened their pajamas from us. We then went skiing like we did last year on Christmas Eve. It was a great day! I braided the girls hair the night before and packed a bag to take to Janet and Kent's after skiing. We all showered there and got ready to go to dinner. We went to a dim sum house downtown and then went to The Grand America to see the windows. On our way home, we drove by Temple Square to see the lights. It was a different Christmas Eve with all the rest of Nate's family not there, but we had a really nice night! It was fun to get ready at Nelsons (it was almost like we were staying at Grandmas from out of town) and dinner was fun too (albeit incredibly slow and I didn't get a picture of Nate and Janet). And seeing the windows and lights on Temple Square was perfect because there weren't any crowds on Christmas Eve. The kids changed into their new pajamas at Nelsons and we headed home. It took us over an hour to get there because of a snowstorm, but we made it and put everyone to bed in the girls' room and sang Christmas carols until everyone fell asleep. It was one of my favorite Christmas Eves!
