Christmas

The girls had a great Christmas. They got lots of fun new toys to play with and their days were filled with traditions we want to start as of this year and some we have already done before, but now are official. We missed being with everyone from Virginia, but we look foward to being with everyone next year as we probably will not all be together the following year. One of the best things we were able to experience, was the Christmas Eve service at our church. The girls LOVED the music. Adelynn danced and Gabriella sang - loud, the whole time. It was neat to have Gabriella there and listen to her singing all the songs. On Christmas morning we woke up late, read Luke chapter 2, while drinking hot chocolate and opened some gifts. After eating a yummy breakfast of homemade sweet bread and jumping on the trampoline, we made a "Happy Birthday Jesus" cake and of course enjoyed eating it! When it got dark, we drove around a little looking at lights, the girls were wiped at that point!

Glad to here your Christmas was extra special... Ours was very different only having Danielle at home. We enjoyed spending the morning with you all via the computer cam. But it just isn't the same being so many miles apart. I don't think I'll ever like being a long distant grandparent:(

Our Christmas eve was special too. We enjoyed CHURCH service and sang Silent Night!
