Christmas Eve...Grandpa and Grandma Lewis Tradition

Every year for as long as I can remember my mom (Cindy), her sister (Valerie), and her brother (Howard), along with their families get together on Christmas Eve. Grandpa and Grandma Lewis started this tradition. We used to gather in their basment. Our tables spread through the whole room. We always have a big dinner and Grandma's slush. The grandkids look forward to opening a Christmas Eve present (PJ's) and usually another silly gift. As our family's have grown, Grandma and Grandpa now have 10 great-children. I know I feel blessed that my four children get to know my grandparents. They have had such an amazing influence in my life. I almost didn't make it this year. The weather was not good. I had to drive the long way to Utah and without John. I didn't want to miss the tradition. I feel grateful for wonderful family.
