Christmas Eve was a pretty relaxing day for most of us... Dave had to work until about 3pm. Mitchell and Amelia are enjoying their time out of school and our house usually has some extra children running around! One of my favorite things about Christmas Eve is going to the special church service. After all of the crazy days and preparation for the big day, that is one hour where you can have complete concentration and reflection of what this holiday really means to all of us. The kids favorite part of the service is the lighting of the candles... it really is a beautiful sight with all of the lights off and only candles in the sanctuary! After church we had a chili supper and then made cookies for Santa! We always leave Santa's cookies on our kitchen table... or they will become cookies for Bailey and Jake! We finally got our very wound up children into bed at about 9:30... Santa was getting closer!
