The service was special for Christmas Eve - the sanctuary looked stunning, the music was amazing, and the message, revolving all around the wonderful truths of the Christmas Story, was the perfect start to our day.
Our neighbors, and the girl's friends - Ashleigh and Abby - ended up sitting right in front of us during the service. The girls were excited to see each other. :)
I wanted to get a picture of the girls at church - the first one didn't turn out so well, and made me laugh, but the second picture just reminds me of how grown up they are now.
Later that afternoon, after some cookie baking and final Christmas celebration preparation, we headed to Grandma and Grandpa Slagh's house!
Picture of all the cousins!
Because of the size of the group, we gathered in the basement this year - in hopes there would be some more room for all the fun!
Lots of exciting present opening. :) Camryn got a Bitty Baby crib, and Taylor accumulated just a few new Lego sets. :)
After we got home, we made sure to get the milk and cookies set out for Santa before bed. There was a lot of energy still, even though it was bedtime. :)
More Christmas to come!
