A Very Fine Celebration

For the first time as a little family we hosted Christmas at our house. With the exception of my sister and neice everyone made it out west and we had a blast. Over the next few days I'll give you the highlights of Evie Lu's second Christmas and second birthday.

Christmas Eve featured four church services. Uncle Jody attended all four and Kaia, Grandma Rhonda and Evie Lu went to two. Evie Lu made her presence known during the 9 pm candlelight service. She'll be in the choir soon I figure.

Let's to go to church!


Evie Lu has been more aware this year of gifts and the excitement of opening presents. This will be the last year Kaia and I will shop for Evie Lu's gifts with Evie Lu in the cart. We bought a small Elmo doll that for two weeks she was looking for in the house. The little chirpy voice asking for Elmo almost convinced me to let her have the doll early.
