On the morning of Christmas eve, my mom called and said we were going to mass at 4pm to avoid the bad weather that was scheduled to roll in later that night. You know when you have a full day of things planned and your schedule suddenly changes? Scott and I ran around like crazy people finishing gifts, wrapping presents, running errands, and getting packed to stay at my parents on Christmas eve. Thankfully Karsten took a long nap and we were able to get everything done. We made it to church at 3:30 into the seats my parents saved for us. It looked like we weren't the only onese who decided to go early because the church was packed - there were people standing anywhere there was room. Chuck and Shannon got there at 3pm to save seats and we were STILL sitting in the church lobby. It was so full that the priest started mass at 3:30. Good thing the fire marshall was not out and about - he would NOT have approved.
The church always looks beautiful for Christmas eve. I've always wanted to take a picture, but this year I finally had my camera with me so we took this after mass.
I couldn't resist this outfit when I saw it. I've had it since early November because I didn't want to risk them not having his size as the holidays got closer! He looked super cute.
Each year we take a picture in front of the tree before going to midnight mass. I have a Christmas scrapbook of our Christmas letter for each year and our picture in front of the tree that year. It will be fun to watch how Karsten changes from year to year!!
For all of those who were concerned about why Madison wasnt in the Christmas card picture, she still gets to be in pictures!!
