Christmas Eve is almost as special as Christmas itself. It's so filled with excitement and anticipation. Evangeline helped me make peppermint bark and just as we poured it in the pan we discovered that it had just started snowing. It snowed all day, big heavy flakes. It was so beautiful. Kyle pointed out that a person doesn't get too many white Christmas in life, so we should make sure to enjoy each one we get.
We spent the afternoon at Peggy's house with the Burress' and Wilsons. Christmas was different this year since we lost Roy. I haven't mentioned that yet in my entries, but Grandpa Roy passed away suddenly a few weeks ago and there has definitely been a void in the family without him. We miss him.
Evangeline received the cutest PJs and robe from Peggy which have been her uniform ever since she opened them up.
The girls, and Jed too of course, got the game Headbands. It was so much fun to watch them play. Jed just ran around with the headband on telling everyone he was "Uperman", but he had fun with it too.
We went to the early service at church. Evangeline was so excited to get to bed. Here is the note she left for Santa Claus. "Thank you for spending your time helping others! You are such a giving man! I don't have a Christmas present for you this year :( My Christmas wish for you is to have the best year of your life. Love, Evangeline"
