We had a little photo session in the front yard before heading out to 4:30 church this afternoon.
Luckily, we ran into Wendy and her family at church to get a shot of the 4 of us!
The Christmas service is our favorite holiday tradition. The music is so festive and the message is always so simple, yet meaningful. It was the perfect way to end the "craziness" of the season and focus on the true meaning of Christmas!
For 45 consecutive years, Rancho ends each service with a candlelight ceremony. It is truly magical!
After church, we had a delicious dinner at Francesca's. We missed having my parents here with us this year, but the food was delicious and the service is always so personal. Last year, the owner brought us samples of homemade banana and chocolate cocktails. This year it was a lemon cocktail that smelled fantastic, but burned going down! We stopped at Starbucks for some holiday drinks
and then came home to open one present. Taylor got some shirts from Pac Sun and Allison got her SDSU t-shirt.
Kaia loved her toy too! The girls helped me prepare an egg casserole and french toast bake for tomorrow morning and we watched The Polar Express before heading up to bed.
Everything is all ready for the Christmas festivities!
