The A-Team

This year Christmas Eve was changed up for us. We had plans to visit Aaron’s extended family but the weather made that a bit difficult for several family members, so it was postponed. We had the entire day to ourselves! We have never spent Christmas Eve alone. This was very new and actually kind of exciting! We decided to celebrate Christmas Eve by going out to lunch. We ate at the local Applebee’s and Abraham did really well. The food was great and we enjoyed the change of pace. After lunch we all took a nap. We decided that we would attend our church’s Christmas Eve service which started at 5 pm. We got back in the car after a good nap and went to see the service. Unfortunately I did not get to enjoy much of the service because Abraham was wanting to play. He had to sit through our lunch and then napped. Now he was full of energy and ready to run it off. So I spent a good amount of time out in the lobby. Aaron did join us when he realized that this wasn’t going to work. We tried to hang out for the duration of the service but Abraham had gotten so tired he was actually crawling and not walking. He only does that when he is exhausted. We did end up making it to the end (I only know because lots of people were leaving the sanctuary) and we were able to wish some of our friends a Merry Christmas. That was nice! We loaded back up in the car and headed home. We decided to enjoy some Christmas lights throughout our neighborhood and that was so nice. There were some really nicely decorated homes that we got to see. Abraham even got to see some of them too! It was truly nice to just be with one another and celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. I think we might try and request a different get-together-day from now on!
