eve

Our Christmas eve was different in many ways this year- we stayed home, picked up bbq for dinner, wore pajamas all day- but we did keep our tradition of lighting the way for the reindeer....











Aunt Mo and Phillip got into town, and they, along with Mimi and Grandpa and my parents, came to eat BBQ with us...we had planned on having Christmas Eve with the Mills as well, and were sad that wasn't able to happen....Lila and Bennett are still recovering from pneumonia and croup, and poor Elise, while still on antibiotics for her pneumonia had a rough night Wednesday night with a stomach flu...
With every one's resistance so low, we decided to have a quiet night at home, hoping that God would understand not bringing the kids out to a usually packed Christmas church...so we talked about Jesus' birth before bed, said our prayers, lit the way for the reindeer and went to bed early....feeling very thankful that, even though we have had a sick few weeks, we were all going to be together for Christmas....
