Christmas Eve

Our holiday season began with the snow falling on Christmas Eve morning. It was beautiful, although not fun to drive it. Later in the afternoon, it was off to church for candlelight service with Grandma and Grandpa T--an hour and a half of Christmas music, the story of Jesus' birth, and glowing candles! We then headed back to our house for a wonderful meal and visiting.

Present time quickly arrived! Bennett wasn't quite sure what all of this was about, but he did attempt to pull at the paper and play with the bows and ribbon.




He got some wonderful gifts--snowpants, jammies, shoes, a baby's first Christmas ornament, a pounding toy with a hammer, and a stacking toy that lights up when you put the stars on. Thanks Grandma and Grandpa for all the wonderful gifts!


We also opened up one gift from Aunt Heather and family--a tradition that she passed on to us. Each year, my nieces get a new pair of jammies to wear to bed. Bennett got the neatest pair--brown and blue with peace signs. The are very soft!


By that time, it was late and Bennett was ready to head to bed. Enough excitement for one day! The rest would have to wait for Christmas morning.
