Christmas Eve

Wowza, I have a lot of holiday posts (and probably some others) to get caught up on.

We went to the family Christmas Eve service at church again (I imagine it's somewhat rowdier than the later service). We got there early so Sam could set up the vibraphone & practice with the choir.

 Don't worry - I didn't let them hold the lit candles. Afterward, we got a family photo.

And, since we did it last year and now it's tradition, we drove out to the magic tree afterward. James fell asleep on the way (apparently also tradition), but I woke him up this time.

This is the best I managed to do of pictures of the kids. They liked it! James yelled, "I FOUND IT!" when he saw the tree. Sure you did, bud.
