Christmas Eve 2009

 

Gosh, I just love these photos of Melanie in her black wool fur trimmed coat!  Nothing more precious!  We are headed to church!  Melanie has her Nativity Set in her purse!  She reenacted the birth of Jesus as we sat in church and listened to the pastor read from Luke 2!  She certainly knows the story well!

 

All of us ready to open gifts!

Melanie and I got this gift for Daddy, so he could have a radio in his office!  Well, she knew what it was and spilt the beans before Daddy could get it open!  I guess Jason was known to do that a time or two when he was growing up!  We all had a good laugh and Melanie was a tad bit embarrassed too!

Well all the gifts are opened, we are truly blessed and now it is time to spread the reindeer food on the lawn and go to bed!  Thanks Carrie for the reindeer food it worked!  Melanie first wanted to sleep with RaRa (RaRa and Uncle Dave spent the night with us – new house, more bedrooms – means we can have overnight guests!!), but after a story and some water, she wanted Momma!  So, we crawled up in the comfort of my bed and snuggled down, read 1 chapter of One Wintery Night by Ruth Graham Bell and she was fast asleep in my arms!  There is nothing better than having your baby fall asleep in your arms on Christmas Eve or any night for that matter!
