Christmas Eve Eve

Today marked the beginning our Christmas festivities.  I've loved hunting down (mostly at resale shops) the pieces of all their Christmas outfits!

This was the closest we could get to a picture of them together under the tree.  Most of them turned out something like this. Loved Ellison's red shoes.  And I enjoyed making a slightly-bigger-than-normal bow for her! :)In front of the fireplace at church.  Ellie did awesome in the nursery again.  She even took a little nap on Ms. Kristen and got to eat some cheerios.  Got a huge compliment on Owen when picking him up.  Julia Parker, his teacher today said he was super helpful to his friend Caleb who had been crying.  He went and held his hand to cheer him up.  And she said he was one of the few 2 year olds who held his hands up and sang for worship.  She said “he’s a real worshipper.”  Way to make me cry.

After church, we met Gabe, Aubrey, Mataya, and Baby Boy T at our normal hangout, Olive Garden!  Where in the world does time go?  They may have shared their first kiss. :) My sweet boy (who really needs a hair cut):Hope your holiday weekend was off to a great start!
