The Night Before Christmas

Our church holds Christmas services on Christmas Eve. After enjoying a yummy pasta dinner at home, Steve and Alina dressed up everyone in holiday outfits and went to church. We attended the "Family Service" which included video clips, a junior high orchestra, lots of Christmas carols and light sticks!

After returning home the kids gathered up cookies and milk for Santa. Of course we all had to taste some of the cookies, too. Just to make sure they were yummy enough for Santa!

Elliott was truly excited about Santa's impending visit. He went right to sleep!
