Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve day, I cooked all morning while the rest of the family did a few last minute errands.

Earlier in the day, Will drew "The north star for Jesus" on our patio.  Sweet boy.

Mike's only request for Christmas Eve dinner was a cherry pie!
 

It's almost Christmas Day!!

Chippy left a note for Will and Jack :) Christmas Eve day was his last day here until next year!

After cooking, we all got ready for the 4 pm service at our church.  Will is dressed and ready to go!

Here is Jack looking cute on his way into church.

We went to church with my parents and John and Kara.  The service was beautiful and they added the candlelight service to 4 pm this year.  That is my favorite part for sure. 

Jack didn't want to sit through church, so Mike let him walk around and then they ended up on the playground.  Jack also walked around the church saying hi to all the ushers.  So cute.

After church we headed home for dinner.  We looked at some Christmas lights in our neighborhood on the way home. 

The boys put on their matching Christmas Eve jammies and watched Elf on the Shelf! Their favorite!

Then it was time to put the reindeer food out!

Then the boys opened their Christmas Eve gift.  New superhero pjs!

 

Ready for Santa! :) And to celebrate the birth of Jesus!
