Christmas Eve

12-24

We spent half the day at Mark and Jean's before going to church with my parents at Calvary at 4:30 and spending the rest of the day with them. Matt took a bunch of kids out on a nature walk around the grove in the morning. It was so unfortunate that there wasn't any snow on the ground! Especially since it's not looking like our winter gear will get much use out here this year! Anyway, most of the day was spent just being together. It was really lovely! Jean took a family picture of us before we ran out the door for church. I misjudged time a bit and should have started getting everyone ready earlier than I did, but with the help of Grandma, we pulled together and got to church in time. After church, we had supper with my parents and Kathy, Jason, and the kids. Kemper, Bergen, Charlie, and Alanna got in a game of Go Fish before bedtime, too. Cute!
