Christmas Eve

We had such a special Christmas Eve! Amelia was a part of the church's Christmas Eve sermon. Our families joined us at church for the service and then we went to my parents house for dinner, time with family and presents!

Here is Blakely on our way to Christmas Eve Church service. Not the best picture but I did not want to forget this since its our life right now! It was rough getting ready for church for Blakely. We had to wake her up early from her nap to get to the service on time and she did NOT want to put her tights on. I think eventually Neal wrestled them on and bribed her with a candy cane! Then I jumped in back on the ride between her and Amelia and did her hair.

All better now! Love the little battery candles the kids get.

Playing with her candle.

Amelia was in the Christmas Eve service as a portrayal of Jesus as a baby! What a special moment for us.

On the big screen, already a star!

She was perfect the whole time and slept.

SING-A-MA-GIGS! Love them! I have been wanting to get one for everyone since I saw them at the store, I think they are hilarious, apparently I'm the only one that does. haha.

Sisters and sisters!

A nativity for Blakely!

Which is Blakely and which is Amelia?!?! haha. Amelia is on the left and Blakely is on the right but I think this shows how much they look alike.

A new sweater for Mommy! Neal opened and held it up for me since I was holding Amelia. What a wonderful Christmas Eve with our family! It was so fun to see Blakely spend time with everyone and to see her excitment as she opened presents!
