Yep...that is right...today is Christmas Eve. At least in our own heads it is!:)
Of course, just 4 days ago we celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas Day with church family (and we had such a sweet time with all of them!) but we have the privilege of doing it all over again with my parents and a couple of my brothers (and sister-in- law) this week!
Last week flew by in a blur of activity and my camera did not make an appearance at all the events...but here are some snapshots...
Faith was the first of all the kids to go to a "real" hairdresser and I am SO thankful I did not attempt her haircut on my own (though I got some good tips from YouTube!:))
We had a fun evening after our Christmas Eve Service with the Baergs and the kids were SO excited to stay up till midnight!:)
Christmas morning started with pancakes...and a Daddy "challenge" to eat his monster pancakes. Three of the kids "took him on" and emerged victorious!!
We had a beautiful time at the Hendersons on Christmas Day complete with Gingerbread sleighs that they had made for our kids. SO PRECIOUS!!!!
A wonderful Sunday Service and a 6 hour car ride through gallons of rain brought us to where we are today...a place that I will always call home though I have never been a resident of Hood River...because it is where my parents live!!!
Today is Christmas Eve in our heads and our hearts are so happy to be together!!
