christmas eve 2013

i LOVE the tree early in the morning...before anyone else is awake. i played with my camera for a few minutes on christmas eve morning...
i LOVE getting ALL of your christmas cards...with your beautiful pictures and all!
but, my FAVORITE card to get is from this boy. Moses. he lives in Sierra Leone and we have the privilege of supporting him so he can go to school. they send a picture of him every Christmas...and it's been so amazing to watch him grow up (he was 3 when we "met" him...now he's 10.)  we support him through Children of the Nations - and we'd highly recommend them if you want to support a precious child!
spent the day doing lots of last minute things...and then headed out for pat's aunt's house. we gather every Christmas Eve with Pat's side of the family. but, first, a picture!! tripod, timer and everything! (they LOVED it - ha!)
off we go! we got halfway there...and couldn't remember if we turned the tree lights off or not, so went back home...we were late :/
the oldest and youngest grandchildren...
it's pretty much the only time of the year we see this side of the family, so it's always nice to catch up!!






got home at a pretty decent time...so pat and i rented a movie. and then set out all the stockings. such anticipation this night!
