We started our Christmas celebration at church on Christmas Eve. This is the first time that we have attended a Christmas Eve service as a family! It was a wonderful service with candlelight worship at the end. Awe-Inspiring! We headed out for dinner and went to look at some Christmas lights around the area. We ended our night back at home, ready for bed!
The next morning, we all slept in until 8! Here is Maddie helping pass out presents.
As the kids have said, this was the year of the Lego...Alex received 2 smaller sets of Friends Legos as well as this cute dog from Maddie. All of the kids were able to purchase a present for everyone else with their Awana points. They always have fun shopping and spending their hard earned points!

After presents and breakfast, we headed to Becki's parents for the afternoon and evening. We started our time together by watching the Christmas pageant put together by Becki's mom.

Brad's gift from Matt was a soft side cooler/lunch bag. He was nice and hid a Culver's gift card in their also!
Matt's gift from Brad was a Pepsi bumper sticker and a nice, heavy-duty Pepsi goblet.
As always, we were & are extremely blessed! after opening our presents, we had a wonderful, warm dinner. We enjoyed our time together for the rest of the evening - eating, laughing and playing.
