Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve down the street at Grammie and Pop's house.  Grammie came with us to the Christmas Eve service at our church that evening.  It was a service designed specifically for families with young children...so if they screamed it wasn't a big deal :)  I think this is going to be a part of our Christmas tradition, since we will probably always be in Kerrville.  It is a great way for the girls to see and hear what Christmas truly is about, before the present madness kicks in.  I loved how Ainslee could tell us who each of the people were in her nativity set this year (except for the "Girl Wise Man"- granted he does kind of have long hair ).  We came home and had a traditional tamales and chili dinner with Memaw and Putt.  It was great evening, but Ainslee ended the night with a terrible fit so we didn't get to leave cookies and milk for poor Santa...maybe next year!
