What a delightful, lovely, holy day our Christmas Eve was. The very last photo I snapped that day is my favorite (above). Our beautiful little precious family ~ answer to prayer ~ God's greatest blessing of which I am so grateful.
Back to our Christmas Eve day...
Scott's Mom and Aunt join us for a casual morning of presents and some food, conversation, and joy.
Fun presents, silly presents, meaningful presents, and useful presents. I only captured these but we are very excited about our new cooking set, Radko ornaments (this one means so much to me because Anna was IN China during the CNY year of the dragon) (this one is so beautiful -- I just love these ornaments - they are handmade using the traditional glass blowing technique with intricate designs)
After, I got baking and made two pies that afternoon ~ pecan, and Tennessee fudge
This one is Abigail's favorite and it's just not Christmas without this fudgy, chocolate pie!
We had our traditional Christmas Eve dinner early (4:00!) and headed out to Mass (one of the best parts of Christmas!
I love these photos of my girls. I've always taken pictures at church before Mass starts. It's always so joyful.
And then we headed home where we feasted on homemade Christmas cookies and big pot of tea. It was the perfect night.
