Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve morning Boppet (our elf on the shelf) visited us one last time. He was found on top of the nativity to remind us that Christmas is about celebrating Jesus's birthday and the gift of salvation that he gives each person who believes.

Miller and I had a busy day around the house catching up on laundry and doing some last minute cleaning and prep for Christmas while Luke cut firewood. After a good long nap my family joined us at our church for a Christmas Eve service. During the service the children were asked to join our Pastor on the stage for story time. Miller surprised us all by joining all the boys and girls at the front. He is very shy in large groups so we were impressed that he willingly walked to the front and then walked back to us without a peep.

The end of the service was done by candle light and Miller held Aunt Addie's candle and sang Silent Night.

After the service we headed over to my parents for a night of food, fun, and gifts.

Katherine got lots of gifts too...

It is hard to believe we have less than a month till she will be wearing this cute sleeper. Of course it will be a while before she will be able to fit these Carhartt overall's.
