Christmas Eve Eve

I only had the 23rd and 24th off from work, so we made a little trip up to Southlake and had some of Derek's family come over for a quick visit.  Loved getting to hang out with family even for short while!!

 Of course we start the day out by feeding all the animals with PA.  

 Morning Horses with Pa.  Love the sunrise in the background.  

 Blacky - Eli's favorite Horse

 Jenny the donkey

 Uncle E helping Eli with the balance bike.  Just needs to grow a few more inches ...

 Cousin Christmas is tough

 Uncle Mark and trampolines!!

Hanging out with Aunt Leah and Cousin Frank

 Christmas Eve services

 I went and got Eli from the nursery so he could enjoy the candle light portion of the service and hear all of his Christmas bed time songs.  He was sooo good!

 My lovely Granny!

Loved getting to worship with Ali at Compass for the Christmas Eve service

And now Aslynn!! She was the perfect little angel.  Her solo was precious and beautiful. Not sure I could get up in front of hundreds of people for 9 different services when I was 6 years old.  Must be in the genes :)

 Love his little face!

 Kygoo, Poppi, and Grammi even came with us - fun!

 Fun activities at Mimi and Pa's!

 Christmas Eve Smoothies - or Orange Julius.  Our favorite!

 Slides with Uncle Kygoo.  You have to be sneaky with Kyle when you take his picture.  I was inside behind the door so he could not see me - ha!

Christmas Eve Stockings at Mimi's!!
