Christmas Eve

Scott unfortunately had to work (but only for a few hours) on Christmas Eve. We had made plans to visit my dad and his wife so Mackenzie and I had the morning to get everything together. We had a low key day at my dad's and had a yummy supper too! Mackenzie got the cutest learning table that has different stations on it and it teaches in both English and Spanish. We can't wait for her to be big enough to use it! After we had supper with my dad and his wife, we went to Scott's bosses house for their annual Christmas Eve open house. Poor Mack was worn out by that point and had a hard time settling down, but she finally crashed in my arms. Scott and I have always ended our Christmas Eve celebrations at our church at their 11 p.m. candle light service. This year they held it in the chapel and it was absolutely beautiful. Several times throughout the service I had to hold back tears...we have so much to be thankful for in 2008. Mackenzie was so funny, she had a second, or maybe third wind by that point and was wide awake during the whole service. While our pastor was preaching Mackenzie babbled out to him several times, and everyone would laugh at her.
