We went to church for the candlelight Christmas Eve service and it was awesome. The message was perfect! It was reminding us not to get caught up in the gifts, decorating and parties but to remember why we are really celebrating Christmas. I do try so hard to keep Jesus in the season. We read Christmas books that tell the story of Jesus' birth, do some fun activities that teach the boys the story, and we sing happy birthday to Jesus before our Christmas morning breakfast. Still the service was a great reminder to all of us to celebrate his birth above all else! After church our two families came over to have dinner together. It is always a little crazy but a lot of fun.

| Man it is hard to get boys to pose when their cousins are there. =) |
Then it was time to put out the reindeer food, leave cookies for Santa and get to bed. The boys were ready because they wanted Santa to come quick.

| Colton has been saving these bells to leave for Santa since we brought out our tree. He wanted Santa to have them as extras for his reindeer. So he wrote this note to Santa. So cute! Santa did write a note on the back thanking them. =) |

| Ready for bed.!! This is the face Carter does when you say "Cheese." =) |
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
