The week of Christmas was filled with fun activities, such as building gingerbread houses and play dates with friends, and an overabundance of excitement anticipating the arrival of Christmas day! On Christmas Eve night the kids participated in the Christmas program at church - even Olivia!! While she was not part of the original plan, the women in charge insisted that she participate after seeing her sing and do the motions so well when attending the practices!
I was completely stressed during the entire performance, but she did really well. A number of members of our church came up to me following the service to let me know how precious it was to see her up there! Going in I anticipated that she was either going to be the star or a complete disaster! Thankfully it turned out the way it did.
The star of the show before we left for church!
The seasoned veterans did very well too!
After we arrived back home from the Christmas Eve service, the kids were all able to open one gift - an ornament for the Christmas tree! This was a new tradition we were able to start this year as Steve will now be home each Christmas Eve because of his new work schedule!
