Christmas Eve

These next few blog posts may be much longer than normal. I have about a zillion pictures and trying to narrow them down is tricky, so I may just post a lot and if you aren't interested you can just scroll through them quickly. ;)

These are the salt-dough ornaments that Alex made for family members and a few friends too. He cut them out, painted, and embellished them himself. He was quite proud!

Our tree on Christmas eve.

Daddy and Alex went out before church to spread the "Reindeer dust." To make sure and attract Santa with the sparkles and reindeer with the oats! (Thank you, Auntie Amy!)

Asher was extremely fussy that evening, but was calmed by daddy's guitar playing. He stared lovingly at him while Seth prepared for Sunday's offertory.

And then he fell asleep....

All dressed up and ready for the Christmas eve Service!

When we got home we had to run inside and see if the Pajama Fairy came during church. Alex was terrified she might still be inside and wouldn't go in the house at first until I assured him she was long gone.

She came!

Asher's cute new jammies

And his cute buns...

Alex loved his new jammies. (Making his "cheese" face.)

Will I ever have a happy shot of both of them?

Leaving milk and a cookie for Santa. Alex was very specific that we only leave one cookie for Santa. He was very worried that Santa would choke and "That would be terrible!"

Santa came!
