We had a great Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve was wonderful! All the kids were home and slept over. We made a big pot of chili... a Nicholson family tradition. Then we had a dance party and played Wii. Our musical kids got out their violin, guitars, and bongos and made beautiful music. They even downloaded some of their songs onto Tyler's website. We sprinkled reindeer food on the lawn, put out milk and cookies for Santa, and put the girls to bed (with visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads). Then Keith and I snuggled up to watch "It's a Wonderful Life", while Emily and the boys sat out by the firepit.  Somewhere in the weeee hours, Santa filled all the stockings and left us some wonderful gifts.
