On Christmas Eve we went to the candlelight service and it was beautiful until hot wax dripped on Anna and I had to run out with her screaming in my arms.
When we got back home Uncle Michael and his family showed up!
Anna really loves holding babies and was so sweet with Jeri Anne.
She recently told me she is going to have 5 babies and 5 carseats. :)
We ate the traditional tamale (if the second year in a row makes something traditional) dinner and this picture shows the best part of the meal - Chuys Creamy Jalapeno dressing.
Then we opened a few presents and went to bed anticipating the morning to come.
She was so happy to get this puppy and was hugging it in the box.
When we woke up Christmas morning I think the girls might have been more excited that Jeri Anne was there then they were about presents.
This was the first time Haven has shown much interest in a baby.
She got right on the floor to play with her and when she was crying upstairs Haven was pacing the house saying baby.
Love Jeri Anne's expression - she may have started to get a little annoyed with all the attention.
We sang happy birthday to Jesus.
And opened a few more presents.
A dollhouse was the big gift this year and kept us (mainly Brad) up late for the second Christmas Eve in a row.
It was worth it because they each picked a side and played for a long time.
We got dressed, took a few quick pictures and headed off to Brad's parents house.
So fun to read about your christmas activities! what a beautiful december you guys had! happy new year!
