Christmas Eve

Our church service was at 10 in the morning since Christmas Eve fell on Sunday this year.  Even though I love the candlelight services, it was nice to not have so much planned in the evening this time.  We went to my sister, Stacy's house for dinner and then came back to do our traditional festivities before getting to bed to await Santa's arrival!

They say you receive a visitor from heaven when a cardinal comes to your yard. It was very nice to receive a visit from my dad that morning.  Notice the nuthatch in flight below the feeder.

The kids put together a car racing track before dinner at my sister's house.

My parents would read "The Night Before Christmas" to me and my siblings every Christmas Eve. I've continued the tradition with my girls.

Cookies and milk out for Santa!

Brian and I enjoyed the ambiance as well as a little of "A Christmas Story" on TV before heading up to bed.
