I'm not sure where I am going with all of the backwards posts, but here is Christmas Eve! We went to church at 5:30 for a service that we as a community threw together ourselves. I think they wanted us to join the Heidelberg chapel for Christmas Eve and only offered a Christmas Day service. The ladies of PWOC bible study were able to "sponsor" a Christmas Eve service, so we threw together some songs, had the older kids do readings from Luke, and closed with a Candle Lighting to Silent Night.

| The girls hammed it up during the service...it could have easily gone the other way depending on Kailee's mood. I told Hailey that if Kai started doing something wrong then she should just ignore her instead of trying to correct her because there surely would have been a scene! :) |

| Before I could adjust my camera settings for this picture of Kai, Hailey's wax dripped on her hand and she started panicking! Thankfully she wasn't burned! |

| Christmas Eve present and Hailey's list to Santa |
Once we got home from church, the girls spread out their reindeer food, opened their present and played with them for a bit while I made dinner (Kai opened Snow White Squinkies and Hailey opened a long-haired Barbie). We set out milk and cookies for Santa and Hailey even found a few leftover carrots from our garden when they played outside that afternoon so she added them on the plate. They surprisingly went to bed very quickly and Leevi was able to get to work on the dollhouse.

| So much to do before bed! |
All ready for Christmas morning!!!

| We weren't up late at all...Leevi finished the dollhouse in record time and then stayed up to watch the Cowboys game. |
