Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was spent with my family this year.  We were lucky enough to have my sister and her family up from California, so it was wonderful being all together.  Christmas Eve is the my most favorite day of the year.  I love the magic in the air, the joy and happiness you feel and the excitement of the children.

We had our traditional candlelight dinner.  I am thankful for this opportunity to reflect on the past year and share our thoughts, feelings and testimonies with each other.
Afterwards, the kids acted out the nativity.  Our precious little Crew was the perfect baby Jesus (except for the fact that he was hungry and a wee-bit fussy).  Ireland and Kennedy were wise men and Pieper was an angel that never quite made her appearance.
The girls and Crew were spoiled by their cousins and received some very fun and thoughtful gifts.  Matching jammies from grandma and grandpa made the evening even that much more fun.

A very merry Christmas indeed!
