Christmas Eve Festivities

This year was our first year to be able to go to the candle light service at Crossbridge! We were pretty excited about going. The service was beautiful and Peaceful. They Played a video from the Internet about the Modern Day Birth of Christ...I was crying it was so funny! Even though it was funny and very relational, some parts of it really put it into perspective!

I did not take my camera b/c I did not think there would be a reason for a picture, however Morris did! He used his IPhone:

After the service we went to dinner and back to the house to get ready for Santa. Taylor helped make ornament cookies (no icing per her request) and she set them out with a glass of milk.

Before Taylor went to bed we put out all of the presents from Mommy and Daddy to her and Mac. The look on her face was priceless! She was so excited! I was holding the presents otherwise I would have gotten that picture!

I am not sure when it happened or how but Santa came while Morris and I were cooking!

I can't wait to see the kids reaction in the morning!

Merry Christmas Eve Eve! (lots of pictures)

This year we celebrated Christmas with my family the night before Christmas Eve (12/23/10).

Every year is exciting but this year really was! We went from one kid last year to 3 kids this year!

A few gifts that were given were camera gear, gun gear, gum, cooking tools, collegiate gear (UA and AU), Jewelry and even CASH! It is always a good time!

Taylor's favorite part is cookie time! You will see that in one of the pictures!  

The Look of Patience:

   

The Mess:

Stockings:

The stockings are huge and stuffed full! They take forever to unload and you never know what you will find!

I can't wait for it to come and I am always sad to see it go! Until next year....Merry Christmas!

Christmas Cards

I mailed the last of our Christmas cards yesterday! I still have a few to hand deliver, but I should get that done today! I also wanted to send the card via my blog to all of my blogger friends! I hope that everyone is having a Happy Holiday Season!

I remember it like it was yesterday....

This was the day Morris and I began our journey together.

The Lord truly blessed us when he made our paths cross! I am grateful for every day (all 2922)  I have had with Morris and I hope to have MANY more!

I love you babe!
