Christmas 2007

I know it's a month late, but I really am trying to get caught up on all our Winter fun!

We had a wonderful Christmas. Josh was fully recovered from the chickenpox, and we were able to attend all Christmas activities that were on the calendar! He played at all 4 Christmas Eve services at our church - 5, 7, 9, and 11. He loved it and said he would do it every year! Our family was there for the 5 and 7 services and then my mom, the girls, and I went back to our home and had some snuggly Christmas Eve time together while Josh kept playing guitar.

Here is our family in front of the enormous Christmas tree at church.

My mom enjoyed reading "The Night Before Christmas" to the girls before we settled them down for a long winter's nap.

We set out cookies and milk for Santa.

I just love this picture of the girls. Even though Sophie has a wallet in front of her face. This is how they look most of the time. :)

On Christmas morning, we had a wonderful, intimate time with the girls. I put a casserole in the oven, and then the grandparents came over to celebrate with us around 10. We had a nice breakfast with them. We left for Josh's sister's house at lunch time and enjoyed Josh's family on Christmas afternoon. After that, we went straight to my Dad's house and enjoyed spending time with his family. It was a fun and busy day.
