Christmas Eve

We went to the Christmas Eve service at Cypress Bible, and both the kids enjoyed the music!  They started and ended with  "Christmas Eve" by the TransSiberian Orchestra - one of my favorites.  I just can't be still during that song, and neither could the kids.  Joshua was "directing" and nodding his head, and Emily was jumping and swaying her head.  It was a candle-light service, and Joshua wanted to smell the candles - as well and eat them, break them, peel them....  Neither of them had napped well, so they both fell asleep on the way home.  We were able to transfer them to bed, and work on finishing getting all their gifts ready.  We finally put together the Jeep that Shawn's dad had given Joshua for his birthday.  We put a big bow on it and had it sitting in the living room, ready for him to see as soon as he came downstairs.
