Look a all the Lights! It was a packed church. We barely found a spot to sit. Note to self *Always get there EARLY*My mom (mimi), dad (papa), and my brother (uncle Tim) came over on Wednesday to spend Christmas with us. Shane and my dad started putting the girls BIG present together (a trampoline) outside while the rest of us were doing crafts and other stuff. The girls never even noticed they were gone :) We left the house about 5 pm to go to our Christmas Eve service at our church. Which was GREAT by the way. The girls were really well behaved. Hayden had a little trouble staying still, so Shane and my dad ended up taking turns walking with him. Hannah couldnt wait until she got to light her candle. We ended up taking a potty break and almost missed it. Thank goodness we made it back in time before it was over. That was a great start to the night. We always want to keep the CHRIST in Christmas and make sure the kids understand the REAL reason we celebrate.
After the church service Grandma Kelly, Grandad and Aunt Gloria came over. We had a big meal of turkey, dressing and all the fixings from Black Eye Pea. Yummy! The kids exchanged presents and we all just relaxed and had a good time being together.
After they left about 10:30 the kids got ready for bed. We set out the cookies and milk for santa, the reindeer food, and the special key so santa could get inside our house. (just in case we decided to make a fire) :) We read our stories, said our prayers and got into bed. Good Night!!!!!
I just realized most of my pictures from Christmas Eve are on my moms camera :( I forgot to charge mine. Oooops!! I will post them another time. There were some CUTE ones!!!
