We stayed in town to celebrate Christmas Eve in our new house!
First things first - church at Hosanna at noon. Ms. Ella in her Christmas dress.
No hair bow - we were running LATE!
Ella wanted to take a picture of Mommy and Daddy too!
SMILE!
Waiting for the service to start. Ella wasn't much for smiling normal!
The service was really awesome and we enjoyed the live nativity scene again this year.
Camels, goats, a donkey, sheep, a calf and ducks galore!
The message included reference to The Grinch and his small heart and how it grew with the joy of Christmas. A good reminder to be joyful!
*We* was supposed to spend the afternoon baking cookies for Santa, but Ms. Ella was too excited to do that! She played the afternoon away and I made the reindeer cookies for Santa (just like last year)
Christmas Eve dinner: Grandma Alice's pea soup with fresh made bread -YUM!
We opened gifts before bed. Ella's phrase after each gift: "I Love It!" :)
She liked everything we gifted, so that's great news.
It was a very Merry Christmas Eve!
