Christmas Eve





Christmas Eve was a busy day in our house. We started the day off by letting Niklas and Ellie open a few presents. Then we had lunch and put Niklas down for a nap before going to the Christmas Eve service at church. Niklas was babtized at the afternoon service so we visited with all the grandparents for a few minutes after it was over. The service was very kid friendly (very noisy!) and they enjoyed the cupcakes afterwards to help celebrate the birth of baby Jesus.
We placed the cookies and milk out for Santa and took one quick picture of the stockings since our Elf (from Elf on the Shelf) would be returning to the North Pole. If you aren't familiar with this story-the elf hides in a different place each day and then returns to the North Pole each night to tell Santa about the children. Ellie Grace and Niklas loved finding him each morning!
