I am terribly late getting my Christmas blog posts written. Having three kids running around, a father-in-law at our house, Christmas services and breakfasts to attend, and driving to Pennsylvania the day after have made it virtually impossible to write anything….and, I obviously haven’t made it a priority.
So here it goes…
Christmas Eve is always crazy in our house and at our church. We have four services on Christmas Eve and our family attends the first one at 2:00 pm, the kids’ service.
Before the service the kids all dress up as shepherds, angels, and wise men. Faith was an angel and Wilson was a wiseman. Wilson was so short and quick that we weren’t able to get his pictures, but here is Faith as an angel.
This year Faith sang Morning Star, which she also sang at the congregational love feast. She is by far, the shortest and youngest singer this year. It was adorable watching her up there. I was very proud.
We always take some of our best pictures at the service. Here are Faith and I with our candles and Tom with the boys.
We always take our family photo next to the tree at church. We have done this three years in a row now.
We take the normal picture first….
And then we take a silly picture…..
My dad with the “little people”…
Tom’s dad has spent the last few Christmas’ with us. He finally got his own picture taking event at the church….
After Tom worked three of the services, he came home and we went to pick up Faith’s new Barbie house from my parents house. Thankfully, they put the house together for us. It took them 2.5 hours to do it. I was soooooo thankful that they did!! The thing is huge! It is almost five feet tall and four feet wide. I always wanted a Barbie house like this one….which is why my daughter got one. I am, obviously, living vicariously through her.
