Christmas Eve was spent with my dear friend, Annie Tintle and her family. We love their family. They are moving in June and we will be devastated. Seriously. I get super sad when people leave but I've never had a kindred spirit like Annie. So, of course we want to spend every waking moment together. Only catch? She lives 1 1/2 hours from me. But we try every minute to get together.

Xoe and Xanthe took a bunch of selfies on my phone. How beautiful are they? I just had to post for my memories.

| Spencer loves her kids! You can't see Xanthe but she's trapped underneath. Those are her black and white leggings. |
Annie has caught on that caroling is becoming lost. No one wants to go. No one wants people to come. She was determined so she came up with something new and improved. Mexican caroling! It's a fun way and the only way she'll get her kids to go. Singing Feliz Navidad complete with ukeleles, maracas and drums. Next year sombreros will be added in. I have to tell you I was nervous at first but once we got out there, everyone LOVED it. No one felt awkward and two American houses turned into 3 extra German houses. The Germans even knew the song. :) The first video is our practice. It was a bit rough and we got better, but this one is cute cuz you can see the kids dancing and singing.
Check out this video. Brian even got into it. Right at the beginning. Then he saw me recording and scooted back. Haha!
After hanging at Annie's, we headed home for our own Christmas Eve traditions.
