Today is Christmas Eve! And because we were all tired from a long day yesterday, we allowed ourselves a nice morning to sleep in. It was wonderful. It had been super rainy today and overcast so it made for a perfect day to just chill at home and do whatever we wanted! The kids wanted to play cornhole so it turned into a tournament with the winner staying on until they had beat each of the other teams. I was lucky enough to get Desh as my partner and I loved having that cute boy on my teams. But it made for an early exit from the tournament so I was mostly a cheerleader for the other teams as they battled to the end. Josh and Liev ended up as the champions and it was well deserved they were a tough team from the very start!
We also played a great big game of scum, admired Liev’s extra sunburned eyelids, had a laser gun battle and goofed off while we tried to clean up the house. 
It basically rained all day and at one point in the afternoon it was coming down in sheets! The boys got in their suits and jumped in the pool and the rest of us followed. We had a great afternoon of swimming in a huge rainstorm! It was sooo fun! We did tricks from the side of the pool and had splashing contests and laughed and laughed about how cool it was that we got to swim on Christmas Eve in Puerto Rico in a warm rainstorm. The Best.
After we warmed up and got all showered we started to get ready for our Christmas Eve dinner. Everyone pitched in a helped as we made macaroni salad, fruit and French dip sandwiches. It just wouldn’t be Christmas Eve without those sandwiches. Dinner was delicious and as we sat down to watch a Christmas movie together, Rease surprised us with a homemade Christmas tree since we don’t have one! She is so cute and thoughtful! One of our favorite traditions on Christmas Eve is to go caroling. We had to improvise a little bit but even that was able to be done from afar. We made a caroling video with candles and all and sent it to our friends and family that we love and miss back home. It was our little way of letting them know we love them and wish them all a merry Christmas!

The kids couldn’t wait to get to bed tonight and are really hoping that Santa remembers that we are in Puerto Rico and not at home this year!
