Christmas Eve

With the upcoming arrival of the baby, we were able to stay home and enjoy a totally family-centered Christmas celebration. This will be our last Christmas as the "Miranda's 5" and next year it is hard to imagine that we will have a little almost 1 year old boy running around chasing and playing with his big brothers and sister! We had a quiet Christmas Eve day, eating breakfast at "Banera" and running a few last minute errands. Then after nap we got ready and went to church. The kids love the candle lighting and Cole was big enough this year to have his very own candle (with Mommy's help!). Then we shared popcorn and hot chocolate with our friends at church and made it home for Christmas Eve dinner.

Sticking with tradition, the kiddos opened their Christmas pj's and made cookies for Santa before heading off to sleep.
