Had a sweet time tonight for Christmas Eve. We went to our churches Christmas Eve service and it was really special. It was a little late in the evening to venture out but we thought it was worth a try. Both girls did really well. Chloe mostly just spent the hour emptying out the contents of my diaper bag on the floor but HEY she was quite! More then once I had to excuse myself into the aisle to retrieve random items that she tossed out. Nothing like your whole congregation knowing what exactly is in that black bag! Pastor Jay even walked by our aisle at one point and did a double take at the horrible mess on the floor but I'm sure he remembers the years where you just do what you have to to get them through. Abigail was excited to get to go up on stage and sit with the other kids and listen to a special kids sermon about Christmas and get a candy cane. And we even let her hold her own candle at the end, she was so proud. We came home happy and ready for the day to follow. We let the family open one gift to start a new tradition. Everyone got new pajamas for the holiday. The muffin got new Minnie Mouse and Tinkerbell for the Bit made them smile. It was nice to see Brian in some new sleepy pants. I did not get a pic of the event but the morning to follow we got plenty of PJ pictures. :) Brian and I did our ceremonial grown up movie and I enjoyed a glass of wine to celebrate meeting my goal for the year. All wrapping COMPLETE before Christmas Eve. Very possibly a first for me in my whole life. All I had left to do on the big night was enjoy it all being done and have a date night w/ my sweet hubby. We were the only creatures left stirring, Cookies and milk out, fire roaring in the fireplace and God is so good to give us another wonderful Christmas Eve as a family. Can't wait until tomorrow!!!
