Christmas Eve!!

 We went to Christmas Eve service at the PAC at 4:00.  Blake and I went early to help take pictures for families in the foyer.  He is so handsome!
 My boys!!!
 We tried to get a family pic before the service started, but Beau would not cooperate!  This was as close as we got:)
 Christmas Eve service is the perfect time to slow down and really think about what we are celebrating at Christmas.  Brother Ronnie's message was centered around the star that guided the shepherds and that still guides us.  Beau wanted to go up and listen, but didn't want to go alone, so Evan went with him:)  I think it looked beautiful!
 Using LED candlelight for Silent Night isn't quite the same, but still very pretty! 
 Love this!
 After the service, I ran into Amy!  Yay!!
 After the service, we tried again, and finally got a good family pic!
 And, one of everyone!!!
 One last pic of the tree before we packed the presents up to take to Nonnie and Poppy's.
 A selfie with my sweetie:)
 It's hard t get a good picture around here!
 I was so proud of the boys for packing the car so carefully...not one bow got squished!!
 Nana, Papa, and Granny came over to join us for Christmas Eve dinner. 
 It was perfect!  We had prime rib, asparagus bundles, spinach mashed potatoes, homemade rolls, salad, pecan pie, coconut sour cream pound cake, and slushy punch!!
 After we got home, Beau went out to sprinkle his reindeer food on the grass.  Evan was SO worked up...he ran out on the driveway in his underwear....yelling "CaCaw, CaCaw".  It was classic!!
 After that, we went inside and all sat on the couch while Travis read the Christmas story to us out of the Bible.  Then we got cookies and milk ready for Santa.
 Beau was so tired, it didn't take long for him to fall asleep!  

Santa came and left filled stockings!!
 And surprises for everyone!!!
What a perfect day!  Merry Christmas!!!
