I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas this year with friends and family. We are having the time of our lives at our parents house in Santa Maria. I hope you enjoy the pics :)
Christmas Eve is always spent with my Dad's family in San Luis Obispo. We have a tradition that we have been doing since i was 3 years old. Every Christmas Eve we go to Grandma's house and meet all of the family. (My Grandma has 7 kids) Then we all go to Grandma's church for a Christmas Eve Candle Light Service. Her church is huge! They have around 500 people that attend on a regular basis, but then for the Christmas Eve service there are at least another 100 or so guests. They read the "Christmas Story" and sing songs in between passages and then at the end light candles and sing more songs. It really is my favorite thing to do on Christmas Eve. I couldn't see myself doing anything else!

Singing by candlelight (you can see Jayden in the corner there)
After service- we all go back to my Grandma's house for dinner. She serves several different homemade soups with crackers and cornbread and then there is dessert. She bakes pies, cobblers, cookies, etc... *sigh*..... heavenly :)
Me and Boopie and Grandmas House- all Jayden wanted the entire time we were there was her tree and her ornaments.
Daddy and Boopie
He wasn't too sure about the tissue paper
And he absolutely loved the bows :0)
As you can see.....
He just couldn't....
Get enough....
