Christmas Eve

We had a calm weekend leading up until Christmas and all of our company arriving.  Collin from our small group was doing a solo at a sister church on Christmas Eve Eve so we headed to round one of services.  The kids did great.  They liked the high school drummers that played to pa rum pum pum. 

 We came home and needed to test out the cookies we had spent all morning baking.

On Saturday, Christmas Eve we went to the afternoon service, afterall we had a big night planned.  Here are the kids at our birthday party for Jesus.

 Checking that the stockings are hung, tracking Santa's progress, putting reindeer food on the lawn and reading the Christmas story from the Bible.

 It was unseasonably warm (esp compared to last year's white Christmas) but Bryce (and his bare feet) were quite cold so he pretty much was outside long enough to dump his whole bowl, take this picture and run back inside.
