Christmas Eve

"Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance - each beautiful, unique and too soon gone."

Christopher, Carla and the kids came for Christmas Eve dinner tonight.  The kids were so excited and it seemed as if I gave them "jumping beans" for dinner.  Later, we went to the Candlelight Service at their church.  They boys read the Christmas Story to the congregation.  Chloe sat up front so she could "see better".  When we lit the candles, I let Cali have mine.  Her eyes just lit up, she was precious.  I haven't seen her sit that still EVER!  She really wanted to blow it out, but waited until it was time.  The kids really made our Christmas Eve special.  We will see Camryn on Sunday.  It's already Christmas in the UAE.  Maybe we'll stay up until midnight and give them a call.  It should be around 9 AM there.  I'm sure the kids will be up by then. Merry Christmas Eve!!
