Sporting his new Christmas Eve pajamas... ready for Santa to come stuff his stocking!
It has been a perfect Christmas Eve. Last minute holiday preparations and some quality family fun with Baby J is how we spent the majority of the day. This evening Papaw The Great & Gigi arrived from Florida.
We attended Quest's candlelight service. Christmas Eve candlelight service is one of my favorite traditions... focusing on the amazing gift of Christ while surround by beautiful candlelight glow and signing traditional Christmas hymns.
After stopping to watch a light show on the way, MM and I prepared an Italian dinner of avocado pesto pasta, roasted tomatoes, french bread, and olive oil and herb dipping sauce for dinner.
Baby J opened his annual Christmas Eve pajama package and once he was snuggled in bed with visions of sugarplums dancing in his head we kicked back and watched 'It's a Wonderful Life'. It was the first time any of us had seen it, hard to believe considering it's such a classic.
"Every time a bell rings an angel gets his wings."
The most fun of the whole day happened just before midnight when MM and I played Santa, digging out all the presents that have been wrapped and hidden and stuffed the stockings. I am so giddy with anticipation that I am unsure how will be able to sleep. So until tomorrow...
Merry Christmas to all and to all a Good Night!
