Going to church on Christmas Eve is a tradition of Justin’s family.  Since we don’t belong to a church, we felt attending a child friendly service at Vienna Presbyterian would be our best bet.  We went into it thinking that likely we wouldn’t make it through the whole service, but WE DID!  Emerson was AWESOME…she sat through the entire church service.  Avery on the other hand would not sit still.  All she wanted to do was run around so Justin and I took turns leaving the service and letting her run around in the main area.  So I ended up missing a good chunk of the service but the speakers were in the main hall so I still heard everything, which for the most part was a children’s play and songs.  But we made it though the whole service…did you hear me?  We made it through the whole church service with two 16 month olds…GO US!   

We dressed the girls up in their dresses that my sister had given them from Zara when they were babies.  The girls rarely wear dresses so it was fun to see them dressed up and of course it turned into another photo opportunity!

YEEAAAAHHHH……”Look at me…I’m a rockstar!”

Before we went to bed, the girls wrote letters to Santa….and then left Santa some milk and biscotti (mommy forgot to buy cookies…hopes santa likes biscotti)…

Good night and Merry Christmas!
