My favorite moments of today:
The kids decorating cookies with Nana - the concentration, laughter, and the resulting sugar high from eating too much icing before 10am. ♥
Being asked a million times by an inquiring little boy if it was "time to go to church and sing songs and then open presents".
Watching Noah and Ellie during the candlelight service, one concentrating so hard on holding the candle, the other trying to blow it out... all while listening to Ellie try to sing along and it just coming out as a hum.
The pure joy the kids had in opening presents... in being so excited about each gift {so much so that they even had to try on the new clothes} and in happily bestowing gratitude on the gift givers.
Ellie getting so tired while opening presents that she grabbed one of Aunt Jessie and Uncle Bryan's new pillows and her own blanket and laid down on the couch.
Simply enjoying precious time with our family while celebrating the birth of our Savior.
Merry Christmas Eve!
