Korte kids before opening presents
Our tradition has been to spend Christmas eve at my mom's. We used to go to the children's Mass here when the kids participated and then we started going Christmas morning with mom at St Joan of Arc. This year we went to both Masses and it was lovely. Christmas morning the kids open stockings and then we come home Christmas Day and the next morning they open their big presents here. The last couple of years we have had to be flexible due to work schedules and this year making time for Colleen to spend time with Zach's family. I have found as much as I do love tradition it is more important to enjoy the moment however it plays out.
God bless us everyone!
