Christmas Eve 2017

We had a fantastic Christmas Eve!  We hosted Christmas Eve and had all of Chris' family over. We got to celebrate Aunt Bethany and Chris' birthdays, eat a ton, open gifts, go to Christmas Eve service (where we got to read the scripture and light the Advent candle), and then spend the evening with Gran and PawPaw eating more and opening more gifts!  We ended the night with Christmas Eve gifts, sprinkling reindeer food on the lawn, preparing Santa's cookies and writing him letters. The girls were tucked in bed by 10 and even though Emma was so worried that she wouldn't fall asleep and that Santa wouldn't come, she did and he did! I took quite a few pictures of our day.

Peg made a home made chocolate cake for the birthday siblings!



Polly loved the icing!












Peg, Aunt Bethany, Carol and Bob all joined us for candlelight service.


I read Luke 2:1-14 and Ryan lit the candle
