Christmas Eve

Here is post #1 of a two part post for Christmas. The night before Christmas Eve, Laura & the girls had stayed the night so when we all got up Tim made waffles. Then Laura & I ran off to the store for some last minute items & errands. We grabbed Starbucks and headed home after several quick stops. The rest of the day was spent relaxing, getting my hair done *thank you Warla!!* & hanging out with the girls. Tim started dinner preparations, then we headed off to church for our candlelight service. It was a very nice service & the girls did really well sitting through it - they even sang the songs with us - so cute. After church, we came home & had a delicious dinner - thank you Tim!! Then we opened presents. Tim's family always opens presents on Christmas Eve, so we have incorporated this tradition into one of our new traditions. Melia loved helping me open mine. Everything I opened she would ask 'Is this for Ally?' . Or she would ask, 'Is that for the kitty?' It was too funny. Nope, sorry baby, it was all for me...none for the kitty this year. They left around 10 pm to go to Corvallis where we met them the next day. More on that in the next post. Here are some photos from Christmas Eve.
