Christmas Eve & Day

Christmas Eve Eve!

We opted to go to church Christmas Eve Eve. Before that we met our friends for a bite at Dions and then headed to church.

After church, we told Cami she was able to open one present. We figured spreading out the toys and gifts would be a good thing!

Cami and Daddy working on a present. It was from my nephew Matthew. Refills for her easy bake over. ( a present from Nana and Pop for Christmas that she got to open when they celebrated with us after thanksgiving)

CHRISTMAS EVE!

Christmas Eve morning we got around and got dressed to go help out at church. We were expecting a lot of people at church for Christmas Eve service so we decided to volunteer. Since we looked so nice (compared to the sweats we were in the rest of the week) we decided to snap a few pics in front of the Christmas Tree.

Family Christmas Picture. Last Christmas as a family of 3.....next year Matt will be completely surrounded by girls!

Cami leaving cookies and milk for Santa and a few carrots for Rudolph. Can you tell she was pretty excited about the whole experience!
Our Christmas tree after Cami went to bed. Santa filled our Santa Bags up and we brought down lots of presents from our very generous family and friends! I included the TV on this pic as it was our family gift this year!

Cami helping mommy open a gift for baby sister! DIAPERS!!! Thank you Karen and Mike!
Thanks aunt BJ and Uncle Jeff! She loves her new cabbage patch doll. I have to admit that I was a little nostalgic when I helped her take it out of the box. The smell of this new doll (slight scent of baby powder) reminded me of my own childhood and opening my dolls.
More Presents! I think this was from Aunt Crista.

Wanted everyone to know that Matt wasn't left out and he didn't just help Cami open presents. He got a nook for Christmas....something he really wanted! (And has used a ton already)

We had a wonderful and relaxing Christmas. We missed our families terribly but really enjoyed our last Christmas before celebrating baby girl's arrival in a couple of months. We hope that your Christmas was blessed and that you and your family took a moment to remember the reason for the season.
