Christmas Eve

"‘Prepare the way for the Lord,

make straight paths for him.’ "
Matthew 3:3b

Christmas Eve came with many preparations from preparing Santa's cookies...

To preparing our hearts...

Which for the second year in a row, we had both children at the Christmas Eve service. It won't be many short years from now, we'll wish for these squirmy little nuggets back again!

And preparing a birthday cake for Jesus...

The kids added a new tradition this year -- Christmas concert!

Not to be outdone by his sis!
Then it was off to bed for these tired nuggets!
