Christmas Eve

It was a sunny and warm Christmas Eve here! I started the day at my favorite place – the tennis court!

Then it was home to get the tables all set and prep some food – which I didn’t have to do too much of thanks to GJ!

We then got all cleaned up for the 1:00 brunch at the club…

After brunch we went to the 5:00 church service. Robert, Maxwell and GJ headed up there early to save our row! They got there about 3:45 when the 3:00 service got out and that was good because it was almost filled up by 4:00! After church we headed over to the Moore’s for some good cheer with friends…

Gingerbread Elf

Do they all know the elf isn’t real? You bet. Do they still want to be entertained by the elf? You bet. So, I do my best….

We had a wonderful Christmas and still have lots of Christmas fun to wrap up!

Samantha was in the pageant at church as a prophet.
