Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a special day for our family. We went to church Sunday morning for our church's candlelight service.

The kids did well during the service. I sure am grateful for our church's preschool and children's ministry though, ha!


Sunday afternoon we took the kids bowling for a fun Christmas Eve activity. We all had fun!
Samuel's favorite part was the ball return


These kiddos were WOUND UP on Christmas Eve, so much excitement!

When we got home, Matt read the Christmas story to the kids.


Then we let them open one present (a joint present for all of the kids)

Then we had to play their new game!

Grammy and Papa Joe came over for dinner and let the kids open new jammies.

Before they went to bed, the kids asked to leave cookies and milk for Santa and carrots for the reindeer.  We don't make a big deal of Santa in our house, but it was fun to go along with it and let them enjoy some of the magic. 


They had a hard time going to sleep on Christmas Eve. They were all so excited about Christmas morning!
