Christmas Eve

Wesley and I are all about making traditions! We woke up this morning and Wesley said "Whatever we do today will become our Christmas Eve tradition."

So after much consideration, we decided to head to the Y for  a Christmas Eve workout and then to Chick-fil-a for lunch. Nothing counteracts a sweaty workout better than waffle fries!

After lunch and naps, we all dressed up and headed to a Christmas Eve service. Our friends Ashely and Todd were going to Ashley's parents church for this service so we (along with the Hazlewoods) joined them. Ashely's dad played the drums (which Jackson found quite interesting) and her mom sang in the choir. It was a beautiful service.

After church, the four of us headed to Kate and Ben's for a Christmas Eve dinner. We did this two years ago and had plans to join them last year before the stomach flu hit. We enjoyed eating, playing and laughing together before heading home to wait for Santa!

Happy Boy! 

Seriously? How cute is he!
And Sam, too!!
Ms. Martha with our "Ms Martha!"
Kate's mom was down for the holiday and we enjoyed speeding time with her too!

After Ben and Kate's, we rushed home to read "Twas the Night Before Christmas."
The first picture I took was better, but Jackson wanted Blankie and Patches to be in it so we had a retake!
