On Sunday we officially started our Christmas celebrations at Spring Creek Church. They had one of their Christmas Eve services. Casey and Caleb sat with us as we celebrated the birth of our Savior. They both enjoyed the music very much. I did however take Casey in the hall during pastor Chip's message. He was starting to get ants in his pants. Let me tell you, he really enjoyed all of the new open space! We went back in just in time to hold up our lights and sing Silent Night. As we are enjoying a beautiful moment Casey says CHEERS! and clinks his light with Matt's. My mom and Grandpa got a kick out of that one. Classic toddler moment.
Later in the day we had my mom, brother Andy, and sister Leah and her family over to celebrate. Originally we were going to host brunch right after church but plans changed. We decided it would still be fun to have brunch for dinner. So we brought up our long table and squeezed everyone into our cozy kitchen for a yummy dinner.
As the kids are getting older they are really enjoying time shared playing with one another. The girls seemed to enjoy Casey's train table almost as much as him. They could hardly finish their food because they wanted to get back to playing. So half our meal was a bit chaotic (with kids) and the other half was peaceful (kids downstairs playing). Once it was time to come up for story time and presents the kids forgot all about poor Thomas the Tank Engine! Here are Casey and Hannah getting ready for the fun.
My family went a bit overboard as usual and spoiled the boys. They both ended up with some wonderful gifts. After we opened gifts we brought the kids into the kitchen to sing happy birthday to Jesus and have some Cake. What fun!
