Christmas Eve proved to be a sweet family day in our neck of the wood.
Our little family of four ventured out to a local hole in the wall for breakfast.
Little A joined us in a high chair at the table for the first time.
After breakfast we returned home to prepare for our big birthday celebration and then headed to church for the Christmas Eve service. After church, we enjoyed dinner with family and then headed home to get kiddos to sleep so we could get to work on getting gifts ready for the next morning.
C and I had been looking forward to assembling this train set…we turned on Christmas music and opened a bottle of our most favorite Texas wine (thanks K & J) and began what turned into quite a task!
We had no idea that assembling it would be as time/labor intensive as is was! We laughed as we tried to find which pieces fit with what…Ella kept us company!
Finally after almost two hours…the train set was complete!
And the stage was set…for the greatest birthday celebration celebrated!
The entire process wore our sweet Ella out!
Our hope, as we went to sleep remained that the tangible gift of the train set, might remind our hearts and our little guy’s heart of the greatest Gift ever given!
Be blessed.
So loved reading up on all your sweet holiday traditions and memories you all made this year! But the thing that made me chuckle was your two hour experience with the train being set up; we had a similar two hour experience with a doll house in our home :) The joys of tots and their treats! May the New Year be a blessed one to you all!
