We had wonderful Christmas Eve. Auntie Rach and Grandma Ruby spent the day with us. The girls loved listening to Rach read "Olivia". Then we decorated cookies! What a mess! But lots of fun!Then we took Grandma to an antique store....then we met Papa and Grandma at our church for the Christmas Eve service with no childcare.....let's put it this way...next year we are either volunteering to do childcare or staying home. In between the girls emptying out the chairs of all the tithe envelopes, running up the aisle, spilling milk, eating every snack possible in the diaper bag, and talking loudly I don't think any of us or anyone within several rows of us got much out of the service!
When we got home the girls hid in their room and waited to hear if Santa would come! They heard some bells and came running out....well Hailey did...Karis was terrified! They opened their presents and Santa brought them everything on their list including digital cameras and dolls from Haiti! (Not really from Haiti but when the girls were going through their Bitty Baby catalog they saw the dark-skinned ones and said, "They have Bitty Babies from Haiti!") So since we are trying to make the toys and books in our house more multi-cultural for our new arrival we thought we might as well get them for them. After presents they decorated cupcakes and sang Happy Birthday to Jesus. However then Karis was terrified that Baby Jesus would show up. These things are so confusing to a 3 year old!
