Going to church on Christmas Eve is a tradition of Justin\u2019s family.\u00a0 Since we don\u2019t belong to a church, we felt attending a child friendly service at Vienna Presbyterian would be our best bet.\u00a0 We went into it thinking that likely we wouldn\u2019t make it through the whole service, but WE DID!\u00a0 Emerson was AWESOME…she sat through the entire church service.\u00a0 Avery on the other hand would not sit still.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 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\u2019s play and songs.\u00a0 But we made it though the whole service…did you hear me?\u00a0 We made it through the whole church service with two 16 month olds…GO US!\u00a0 \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

We dressed the girls up in their dresses that my sister had given them from Zara when they were babies.\u00a0 The girls rarely wear dresses so it was fun to see them dressed up and of course it turned into another photo opportunity!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"YEEAAAAHHHH……”Look at me…I’m a rockstar!”<\/em>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Avery playing in her kitchen!<\/em>\"\"Picture time with Grandpa!<\/em>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"\u00a0Picture time with Grandma now!!<\/em>\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\"\"Before we went to bed, the girls wrote letters to Santa….<\/em>\"\"and then left Santa some milk and biscotti (mommy forgot to buy cookies…hopes santa likes biscotti)…<\/em>\"\"<\/p>\n

Good night and Merry Christmas!<\/p>\n
