For Unto Us, A Child Is Born

It finally came! The day we had been hoping would come! These kiddos know how to have Christmas fun. I'm not sure who is walking way from this season with more memories: them or me.

We laid low on Christmas Eve. And got plenty of rest of the long night ahead. Then we ~~attempted to~~ took pictures in front of the Christmas tree.

Two is Better Than None!

Oh! There She Is!

Too Excited to Stay Still ... And Awkward Smiles for Everyone Else

This One Is My Favorite

Then it was time for Christmas Eve service the fam!

Nana and Her Boys

Taking Notes Is Important ;)

Before We Lost Control

There's just something about my babies holding these candles. They don't yet understand the significance of the lights as a symbol of Jesus being a light in this world. But every single time - it brings tears to my eyes. And every sing time I reflect on what a big responsibility it is to bring these littles closer to Jesus as they grow up. Christmas really is magical.

Photo Opp!

If here is an opportunity to take a family picture, I'm going to take it! Even if we get a couple of awkward smiles in the process.

We spend the rest of the evening at Nana and Papa's for a Christmas Eve Celebration.

Ready. To. Eat

Presents?!?!?!?!!

Only Way I Can Get a Picture With Him

Not My Best Angle ... Cool Story Though

This quilt was made by my kids great-great-grandmother. We were given several objects that she either owned or made herself. It's possible I tried not to cry when we opened this gift. I love family history, and I'm so happy to get to share this with the kids. So cool.

Back at home, we had one more job to do before we set out milk and cookies for Santa.
