My parents, Layne, & Jackie came into town Christmas Eve day.
After I finished up all my baking & preparations I tried to get Jack down for nap & failed for the second Christmas Eve in a row ("no nap Jack"). Evidentially he can sense the excitement of Christmas Eve & literally played in his crib for 2 hours.
After Jack woke up we headed to 4 o'clock church and he was great through the whole service (with the help of a Thomas the train brochure that he could look at for hours!). We are pretty sure that he did fall asleep during one of the long prayers, though! He had his first communion with his dad & was very intrigued when we lit our candles. We started out with Madelyn in the service but after she made it known that she was not going to sleep I quickly took her to the nursery.
We headed to a delicious dinner afterward church and then it was home to prepare for Santa's arrival.
We decorated a few sugar cookies for Santa...
Checked out where Santa was on the map...
And then had a dance party, read "Twas the Night Before Christmas," said our prayers, and it was off to bed.
