Our Christmas celebrations started with dinner at my Dad and Kay's home with extended family and then a Christmas Eve church service where we enjoyed the company of my Mom, Bob, and some more extended family. Eva's favorite part is always the candle lighting part of the service and Jaden was just in awe of everything....time spent at church on Christmas Eve is so meaningful to me and one of my favorite parts of the Holidays.
Cookies and a special note for Santa.....left on the fireplace so he can see them!
In our family we have always taken a picture of the kiddies when they first see the tree Christmas morning...and this was this year! After I shot this Eva ran over to the presents and started organizing them (she is such a logical little thing) and Jaden just sat there staring with his mouth wide open!
Eva received many exciting things....but I'm not sure any measured up to her new tennis racket!
Jaden also received many fun things (including the Handy Manny set he asked Santa for) but he spent a lot of Christmas morning "trimming the grass" with his weed wacker. He also got a firehouse set from Santa that he loved....he loves little trinket things that he can manuever. He spent hours making the firemen walk all over the firehouse, drive the firetruck, and put out fires. I love not only playing with him, but sitting back and watching his little imagination.We enjoyed Christmas dinner with my Mom and Bob, as well as a couple from our church that did not have any plans for Christmas. We had such a wonderful time and many special memories were made!
