Christmas Eve

Our Christmas Eve festivities began with Church at Trinity.  I had to play piano for the 4:30 service and got to sing a few duets for prelude.  Elsa, one of my piano students, even played Away in a Manger with me!

My little sweeties looked so nice for Christmas Church!

After church, our family heading to Aunt Debbie's house for the annual Christmas Eve gathering.  We celebrated with delicious food, some gifts for the kids, and the adult white elephant gift exchange.  Livi got a new pair of black dress shoes and a few onesies and Nolan got a cool animal alphabet puzzle and a turtle PlayDoh toy.  Eric was thrilled to end up with some Poo-pouri for the office and I got a scarf and a gift card for the Crimson Cafe.  All of Eric's aunts, uncles, and cousins were in attendance this year, so it was a big, fun, and noisy group.

 This Christmas Eve marked Grandma Ruby's 86th birthday!  We were finally able to get a picture of all of her great-grandchildren together.  Pictured L to R are Emma (Miller's stepsister), Miller holding Charlie, Emmett, Grandma holding Olivia, Mason, Nolan, and Jaxon.

And all the cousins were together for a picture as well! L to R - Scott, Jodi, Jamie, Amy, Eric, Ali, Tom, Claire, Derek, Paige, and Hayley

We feel so happy to be part of a family that enjoys spending time together during the Holidays and throughout the year.  Merry Christmas!
