Christmas Eve ;)

Christmas Eve was an exciting day for us. We started out our evening at mom and dad's house for some yummy food. Than we went to our church's candle light service, which was a lot of fun and Eli especially loved the fire part...



Than after the service we headed back to mom and dad's to celebrate Grandmas' and Georgia's birthdays and to let the kids open up gifts from the Grandparents and the Aunt and Uncle's.

Here the 3 oldest wait patiently while everyone gathers in the dinning room.

All of these picture are a bit out of order: This was towards the end, Sethie and Cora checking out Georgia's new walker stroller from us.
Eli stocked over his new hot wheels race track from Gigi and Papa G.
Our 3 humbled and sweet kiddo's. Eli received a very cool Whooly Mammoth book and video which he was so excited over.
Gia opened up her baby doll from her mamma and dadda. The eyes on the baby match Gia's blue eyes. This one was for her birthday.And last but not least, we found out we were prego with baby #3 ;) We found out in the morning and were so excited. When we told Eli he asked "When is He coming?" I think he really wants a brother - i know he really wants a brother.
Overall it was a wonderful blessing to be able to spend time with our family. To celebrate the birth of Christ. To reflect on all His blessings upon our families. To know that He is our King and that our Lord sent us His Son to save us. We are excited to see what this next year has for our family. What God has planned for us. We have seen His hand in our lives all year long and can't wait to see what's next ;)

Hope you all had a wonderful and blessed Christmas ♥
