Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve night was really nice at our house. It was just the four of us and we enjoyed some fun Barber time. We had beef stew for dinner and then lit a fire in the fireplace. We then lit candles and sang some Christmas songs. It was wonderful!
I know Keira is hard to see here, but I love her little round belly glowing in the fire's light.
There's something about holding a candle that calms a child down. It's amazing.
Keira was actually still a little hyper, but much calmer than usual.
Andrew was so proud of being able to hold the candle by himself. He knew it was a privilege.
Andrew getting things ready for Santa's visit. He had his letter to Santa, cookies, and milk all set for him.
Each of the kids decorated a special cookie for Santa earlier that day. Andrew's is the green gingerbread girl and Keira's is the heart.
All set for bedtime!


Extra Christmas Eve energy.
These were their big gifts from us. I made Keira a sheet and quilt for the toddler bed that we got down for her. You'll have to wait for the next post to find out what Andrew got.
All wrapped up and ready for Christmas.
