December 24-Hear the Christmas Story

Tonight we went to church where Ella sat in church with us for the first time since she was a baby.  I know that seems crazy, but our church has an amazing kids program that she is in, and she goes there instead of going to church with us.  She did pretty well, but had to be reminded a few times to whisper if she wanted to talk.  She also was VERY excited when we sang Away in a Manger!   I obviously didn’t get any pictures of her in church listening to the Christmas story, but here are some pictures of us after. 

Before we headed into the restaurant there was a musician that was singing songs out on the patio outside the restaurant.  Ella and Cavner had fun dancing to the music.

Here are Ella and Cavner in the restaurant.

Then after dinner we took some family pictures.  We always take them at the same spot every year.  I like to see each year how the kids have changed.  If you want to see our pictures from previous years click here.

Ella said that she wanted to do a silly face one, so here it is!  I LOVE the look on Cavner’s face.

Then when we got back to the condo, and got on our Christmas pajamas, and Auntie read The Night Before Christmas.

After the kids went to bed, guess who came?  Santa!!

Goody also followed us to Florida for his last day!   He then went back with Santa to the North Pole.  Ella and Cavner both miss him, but Cavner especially keeps saying “Goody!” and gets really excited when he sees a picture of him on the computer.  We can’t wait for you to come back next year Goody!!
