Day 359/365 ~ 2012

Christmas Eve service this year was so special.

The Living Nativity was heralded by our little angel, and visited by our two wise men.

My favorite part of the Christmas holiday was this precious night.

Favorite photos of the day.....



Can you feel the love?







Gifts!
Each child opened a gift at the same time.



Think Katie liked her gift from Aunt Michelle?



How much do we love Noah?



Watching the gift opening.



Angry Birds were a big hit.











A special gift...Aunt Linda's childhood ring.



Off to church!
5:00 Children's service.
"Silent Night" with glow sticks were the best.



Delicious dinner at Mike & Michelle's.
I was introduced to miniature lobsters.
I didn't know what I was missing! Mmmmmmmm.
Michelle was looking quite glamorous.


Santa came!!!





Andrew has the best reactions.





(Noah opted to pass on Santa's lap).



"The Night Before Christmas" & "The Angel of Nazareth"



Merry Christmas to All & To All a Good Night!
