Christmas Eve 2014

Christmas Eve/35th Birthday Breakfast! We went to Caribou together as a family after my run or maybe I skied...I can't remember. Either way it was a nice treat for my birthday. We had more time before church this year since there was no visit to GG beforehand this year. 

She was missed this year but I'm sure she and grandpa enjoyed watching us together from up above :)

And it was Erik and Lisa's year to be with Lisa's side for Christmas so my parents were stuck with just us Meyers!

We met them at church and our festive evening went on from there.

Silent Night, Holy Night

 I love the candles during the the Christmas Eve service. 

Especially watching kids in awe with them.

We drove past some Christmas lights before dinner at my parents house. 

               

                 Harper helped put baby Jesus in the manger while Linnea snuggled with some Christmas bears :)

What happiness these two little girls can bring us.

 Love our family.

Time to eat! 

We decided to bring back the Christmas chicken tradition and it was delicious!

So pretty. 

So many presents waiting to be opened under that sparkling tree...we just opened a few though so we could have more to open with Erik and his family. 

 Papa loved his new A Christmas Story glasses and Linnea sure loved her new Hello Kitty water bottle...will be perfect for Disney World!

watching grandma open her ornaments from them or maybe it was Call the Midwife from Chris and I...

 3 more people ready for Disney world! Mickey Mouse shirts and a princess backpack.

 Two girls and their very loved grandma and papa :)

Cookie time!

Jammie time! 

I loved that my parents are carrying on the tradition set my grandparents of giving sleepers/jammies on Christmas Eve so the kids can get ready for bed before going home.  

 Then when they get home all they need to do is set out milk, cookies and a carrot and go to bed!

All ready for Santa!
