Christmas Eve this year brought a special surprise with it...SNOW! Just before we headed out the door to the candle light service the flurries began to fall, and it didn't let up until later that night. It felt so "Christmasy" as we ran into the church knowing that there would be white snow covering the ground when we left.
Our church does not have a Christmas Eve service, so we once again met up with my family at Lake Pointe. As usual, the singing, celebrating, and candle light were amazing!
Attempting to get a picture in front of the tree at the church...
After service we all went back to our house for dinner and presents! Lots of laughter and excitement for sure, sooo here are some highlights that we would like to remember...
Ella loved her sock monkey from "Uncle Joe Joe"!
Ha! This is the funniest little horse thing called Rody that she got from Aunt Sissy and fam. She loves to bounce on him and fall off the side to make us laugh. :)
Cari also got all the kids these precious santa bags with their names on them to use each Christmas for gifts. Emerson even got one this year!
Clayton's first Christmas present ever!
Mom got Ella a Zhu Zhu pet hamster and it is one of her favorite things to play with. It has a life of it's own and runs around our house when she doesn't have it in her hands. The funniest thing is that she keeps calling it a sheep. Ha!
More gifts for Emmy...
Before going to bed we set out cookies and milk for Santa. We also left him a "magic key" to use if he needed it. Thanks, Cara, for this fun idea!
We were so excited to have my mom and sister spend the night with us that night and to be there on Christmas morning. We all went to bed waaaay too late, but looked forward to waking up together to celebrate Jesus's birthday!
