Christmas Eve is always my favorite day of the entire Christmas season, but this year it was magical and perfect in every way. Snow started coming down Christmas Eve morning which excited me to no end. Snow is one of my very favorite things and I rarely get to enjoy it on Christmas Eve or Christmas. We went to church in the evening and kept Henry with us during the service. The way he enjoyed Christmas music throughout the season we knew he would enjoy the music in the service. He had a great time dancing to the music and also moving up and down the pew between me and his grandparents. When we cam out of the service it was snowing so hard we could hardly see anything ~ it was so exciting and beautiful!! The grandparents came to our house for supper and gifts after church. Henry looooved opening gifts and quickly learned that when he opened one gift another one was soon to follow. He received a bouncy zebra that is very fun for him and also some crayons and a coloring book of his own. Considering that he's always trying to take his sisters crayons and color on their papers it was a great gift for him. After all that I tried to convince everyone that sledding in the dark would be the perfect ending to this most perfect of days, but Lydia and Trixie insisted upon going to bed so that Santa would come (they were also excited to sleep in their brand new bunk beds!) So, we put cookies, milk, and carrots out and headed to bed. We read 'Twas the Night Before Christmas and the story of Jesus' birth and it was lights out. I will always treasure the memory of this first, most magical, Christmas with Henry Joon Seong. :)
