We had a great Christmas Eve with Steve, Ann and Auntie Liz.
We went to the Christmas Eve Service at 5:30 at Faith Baptist... and then headed home to make up a HUGE feast of for dourness, drinks and a Ben sized cookie plate! We were all stuffed! And had a tone of leftovers (except for the cookie plate, that was pretty much cleared off)!
Grampy read the Christmas story, we all sang Happy Birthday to baby Jesus and then we opened some of the presents under the tree. Bella was in fine form and stayed up with us all until at least midnight. Liz and I stayed up until past two wrapping presents from Santa and putting out the kids' stockings (except I don't have stockings for any of us. I haven't needed them, as we have alway spent Christmas up at my parents or the Shaub's... something i have to remember for next Christmas). Thank goodness for kids who sleep in. Bella didn't get out of bed until 10:30 (and Steve woke up with Ethan around 8:30), so we had plenty of time to get some good rest in the morning.
It was a great night, filled with good food, laughs, smiles and memories from our first Christmas in our own home. And yes, skyping with Uncle Dan and Aunt Frannie too!
