We had a couple of our favorite things scheduled for December 24th. First, we had my mom's Christmas gathering with family from "my side". We got up early, cooked our turkey and dressing, got ready and had a delicious Christmas dinner with family.
After lunch and a good visit, we went to our church's candlelight service. Because I was manning an eight year old with a lit candle (and guarding the long hair of an older gentleman who was seated in front of him), no photos were taken. But trust me, the service was beautiful.
After church, we came home and decorated gingerbread men cookies to leave for Santa. Gracie helped George load the Santa tracker, and the girls helped him leave milk/cookies for Santa, as well as food for the reindeer.
Oh, and they also left a cup of syrup for Zippy, our elf.
William George has been so excited about Christmas this year... and it was infectious.
After pushing the "Santa Stop" ornament, we had a reading of the birth of Jesus and the Night Before Christmas.
We can't wait to see if Santa comes.
