Emma didn't have braces for long...and it sure was fun to see her pearly white teeth again. What a beaut.
Lights at the zoo...there is not a year we have missed doing this together. Always one of our favorites.
Christmas EVE
We started the day at Kingston---cookies and cards to the elderly. I always feel a tremendous amount of pride as I watch my kids love on people who are often hard to talk to, understand, or be around. They rock it---every single year. They bring light to the people on Christmas Eve...and honestly, to the grumpy staff that usually is assisting.
We left there and went to Starbucks for some steamers and sandwiches. :)
Christmas Eve Church service was beautiful. It's the one time of the year our entire family sits together in church. It was powerful and emotional and wonderful. And the Snow was coming down like buckets outside---the most perfect Christmas Eve.
On our way into church...
Off to the Moores for Christmas Eve bagels and salads. :)
Christmas morning...
I wish I could freeze these moments, and print a video into a blog book to capture the sounds and smells and screams and mood. It's just the best morning of the year. It's fun and exciting and wonderful and easy and full of joy. Our kids woke us up at 7 AM. Yep---even the almost teenager.
