This was our first Christmas Eve to be at our own home!! We were so excited to start some traditions with our little family.
We started our day, by making TONS of sweets!
Making Jesus's birthday cake.
Daddy making no bake cookies.
We baked all day and just hung out around the house. Christmas Eve night we went to the Candlelight service at our church, which just happened to be a family service. We had no idea what it would be like and we were NOT prepared to have both of our boys in the service. They were not prepared either having never sat in the sanctuary for anything other than music.
Brett and I were both a little stressed out. However, there were a couple of precious moments with Cannon. Twice during the prayer time while the instrumental was playing. Silent Night was playing at some point, everyone was sitting quietly, eyes closed and praying...when all of a sudden we hear a sweet little voice singing "Silent Night, Holy Night, all is calm, all is bright....". Yep, it was Cannon. Everyone around us turned to look at him. It was a precious little moment. After the service, many people came over and said how sweet it was.
We went back home for Honey Baked ham, potato casserole, and asparagus. Yummo. The plan was to watch a Christmas movie afterwards but we ended up watching "The Sound of Music" instead. Cannon loved it.
We made a HUGE Gingerbread man for Santa Claus.
Cannon and I mixed up some reindeer food.
The boys placed carrots and reindeer food out.
Then it was bedtime...
