Christmas Eve I sat the kids down in front of the tree and tried to get some pictures of them all dressed up. Ben wouldn’t let me touch his hair so it’s a hot mess, but we did get some cute ones. Andy’s mom made Cassidy’s dress, it was SO cute! Ben decorated the bottom of the tree so there is a mass of ornaments 3 feet and below and then all the breakable ones are spaced out at the top of the tree. It looked hilarious but I loved it ;-)

We went to the Christmas Eve service at our old church. Since our new one is just starting (and at the community rec center) we didn’t have one of our own this year. A lot of the launch team was away on vacation and the student volunteers we have were home on break anyway. It was a nice service, a bit more of an entertainment production than I really liked (I’d be happy with a little sermon and just singing Christmas carols) but they did a nice job with it. Ben actually let me spike up his hair before we left, it looked super cute.
