Christmas Eve

So The Hubby's parents came down to visit over Christmas. They rented a condo on the water a bit south of us. Beautiful views and it even had two bedrooms so the boys could spend the night!

Our family has some Christmas Eve traditions. One of them is we go out for seafood dinner. This year we went to Captain Geroge's Seafood. We had been to the one in Virginia Beach and one in Williamsburg before but this was our first time at this one. We were there right when it opened so got seated right away. It was nice to have the in-laws there to help out with getting the kids their food since The Hubby had to get all my food too. Cat Boy and Monkey were excited for the crab legs and I lost count of how many I opened for them. Monkey did try and do some himself but it took him FOREVER. The staff was great with Monkey's allergies and let us know what to stay away from. They said some dessert was safe but we always stay away from dessert in case it was cut with a knife that was used with a nut item. The food was nice and hot and was good. We all stuffed our faces. It was nice getting there early because by the time we were really to roll go home it was filling up.

Another tradition we have is after dinner we go look at Christmas lights. We didn't know where to go so we drove around the neighborhoods where the in-laws were staying. My favorite thing was the Santa Duck. Isn't he so cute? We didn't see a lot of houses decorated but some were really done up so they made it worth it.



When we get home it is always time to open one gift. Another tradition. The gift is always a new pair of pajamas. After everyone changes it is time for the last tradition. The Hubby reads everyone The Night Before Christmas. We then put out cookies for Santa and head to bed.
