With our church's explosive growth over the last six years, holding Christmas Eve services only on Christmas Eve doesn't cut it. We start the Christmas service fun several days before the holiday, so there are many opportunities to take it in.
We chose Wednesday night as our time to celebrate Christ's birth with our church family.
No candles, but we did have cell phone lights as we sang Silent Night to close out the service.
On Christmas Eve afternoon, Rigo and Colleen invited us over for lunch. It was great to see them again.
Violet and Cora helped make the chocolate crinkles, the one Christmas cookie I make in honor of my grandma.
And we finished our Christmas Eve by attending another church with Melanie and Nick.
Our friend Christine is the choir/orchestra director here, and the music was gorgeous. This time, we did have candle light for Silent Night.
When we got home, it was time to prepare for Santa's visit. Violet put the special magic key on the door, and the girls put out reindeer food...
...and milk and cookies.
Christmas is here!
