Merry Christmas!

Christmas Day sledding

This year, Christmas was a perfect sledding day...not too cold, fresh snow, sunny & clear...just beautiful! It was Mason's first time and he absolutely loved it!

Christmas Steve

Addie is pretty sure that the day before Christmas is Christmas Steve..."and he's a friend of ours!"

We spent most of it at church as Brian & I were on the worship team.
There were 3 services, which started at 3pm with a Family Service for the kiddos. The kids were dressed up as Shepherds, Angels or Kings and paraded through the sanctuary. They were so cute!

Mason all dressed up

Addie's friend, Malachi, as a serious shepherd

much happier having some dinner.

Our gingerbread house decorated by Addie & mom.

Addie & the present she picked out to open (of course the biggest one)

trying to look natural despite being SO excited she couldn't stand still!

Addie got a new baby and newborn "doctor stuff"...how fitting, celebrate the newborn King with a newborn doll :)

Merry Christmas stEve!

best buds

Every sunday night, while us adults have small group, our kiddos play with McKenna & Cooper Boyle...well mostly just play near Cooper, but soon he'll be mobile & running after the other kids.
Here are some shots of the older three:
