We started of our Christmas celebrations at home. Christmas eve day was spent hanging out at home and painting Teresa's room pink. We went to the Christmas eve service and got all spiffed up. Teresa was very excited to be in a fancy dress that twirls. Timothy was not so happy to be dressing up--even though that only meant putting on a red sweatshirt!

After church we had dinner and baths and then it was already bed time. Troy spent the evening setting up the wiiu console and he and I watched the last few minutes of It's a Wonderful Life.
Both kids were up and ready for Christmas morning fun! We were done with stockings by a bit after 6 and were having breakfast at 6:30! Then it was onto some devotions/advent and the presents under the tree. They were both pretty excited about the things they got. Teresa loved her big, pink leopard that she had hoped for.
Since Timothy and Teresa were busy with their gifts making bead pictures and jewelry, we held off on the Wiiu. Once that was discovered, Timothy spent a good deal of the morning playing Mario Kart.
It was a fun family evening and morning. Although next year, Troy and I hope to do a late dinner on Christmas Eve to take some of the hurry out of the night.
