Merry Christmas!

 

Merry Christmas, my friends! Whether your day is packed or laid back, I hope you have an enjoyable time and a chance to savor some goodness.

            Thought I would share with you today some peeks at our Christmas Eve.

            We had church, which was actually full, but we took our picture there early before everyone filled the pews.

            Ryan sang with the choir, I filled in for the nursery workers long enough for them to watch their own kiddos sing in church, and our pastoral staff read the Scripture during the service.

            After church we came home and rested, took a walk (since it was springlike here) and I made dessert for one of our gatherings today.

            Lexi got her new car seat Christmas gift and went out with Ryan for a test run. (He said she did a great job with it!)

          After dinner, we watched The Best Christmas Pageant Ever, which is (ironically) one of my favorite Christmas books, but I'd never seen the movie! Mom used to read me that book all the time when I was a kid, and then I read it to Ryan after we got married. The movie did NOT disappoint!

  

Late last night, we made our way back to church for the Christmas Eve service, which was beautiful!

            I like it when Christmas Eve falls on Sunday, because it feels like the perfect preparation for Christmas Day.

            Merry Christmas from us!
