PAJAMA CHURCH SERVICE
Both girls & Mommy and Daddy went to church in their jammies. Here we are learning about what communion means and why we receive the bread and wine.
Rev. Andrea asked the 20+ children "Who is missing from the manger inside the stable?" Hannah was the first to answer "Baby Jesus!". I'm so glad she got over the whole 'Christmas is Santa's birthday' thing that they were teaching her at school!

Daddy went to this service with Gramma & Grampa because he had to read & light the candles.

What great pictures! Even better, now that we have seen all the decorations up, and have reconnected with the rest of the family. I liked seeing Cheryl and Helena (yes, I remembered finally) as well.
Thanks for a wonderful visit, as always. It was really special to share some of your Christmas excitement, and of course, to spend time with our two girls. We had fun!!!
Loved seeing your Christmas! One of these days we are going to make it out there! Miss you guys... :)
