Day 358
M E R R Y C H R I S T M A S E V E!
Our extremely full and blessed day started at MiMi's house celebrating Christmas with my grandparents!
Then we went to JC's parents' house and celebrated with his family. We had a delicious meal and of course opened presents!
Next we attended our church's Christmas Eve Candlelight Service where Brendan and Jackson served as ushers.
Then we came home and ate dinner and made Reindeer food. After sprinkling the Reindeer food, setting out Santa's cookies and milk and magic key, and finally, Santa Mouse's cheese, JC read The Night Before Christmas and Santa Mouse!
Of course, JC's all-time favorite Christmas movie, It's A Wonderful Life was on the tv!
Another favorite tradition is that the kids get to open one present each on Christmas Eve night before they go to bed.
This year they each got a cross with a special verse! Brendan's is of course, the baseball home plate. Jackson's is the soccer cross, and Emma's is a porcelain cross with her first and middle name hand-painted.
Emma's verse is Numbers 6:24; Jackson's verse is Psalm 96:12; and Brendan's verse is Phillipians 4:13.
Jackson has been sick this Christmas with a nasty cold. He actually started the going to bed process voluntarily, poor thing.
Finally, all the kids were asleep, and Santa was able to work! :)
