Twas the Night Before Christmas!

Christmas Eve!!
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care! There is nothing quite like the magic of Christmas. Lindsey and Josh are building precious memories and establishing traditions that these three little ones will remember forever. And I am so thankful that we are able to be a small part of it!    Plans were to have a little photo shoot before we listened to Maddie share the Christmas story, fed the reindeer and headed to bed.  Sounds so simple!

First, this little Santa decided to rearrange the ornaments on the tree!


Maddie was preparing to read the Christmas Story to us, and Lillian was helping her get ready.  They were looking so precious, I suggested we grab Reed and have a little photo shoot.  Sounds simple, right?


He just wasn't feeling it!  



The more we begged, the more he resisted! And in all of our focusing on him, I never noticed Maddie's hair in her eyes!  



Lots of begging and maybe a few threats finally paid off!  Sort of!!


Almost pitiful!!



The sisters were ready!!  So sweet! Reed took a minute to regroup and think about things! At least, I think that's what his mom said he was doing!



Then suddenly out of the blue-ta da!!!!

 

For unto you is born in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.  Luke 2:11
I love the way Lillian and Reed sweetly joined her.
(This, as well as her sweet prayer Christmas morning, were my favorite memories of this Christmas Season!)


Next, they grabbed the reindeer food and headed outside to sprinkle it on the ground!



Finally, cookies and milk were left for Santa who magically appeared during the night.  



Next up, Christmas morning!
Merry Christmas!
