Christmas Eve

It is finally here!! Ellie is all about "ho ho" ~ she says she wants to sit on his lap, but never did. We tried twice this year with no luck.

Chad was on call at Holston Valley. We were going to stop by for a visit but he was too busy. Ellie & I had a few plans... we ran to Target (not for last minute shopping but for these white tights!). Then we were invited to The Clark's for before church appetizers.

Ellie girl before heading to the Clark's. I love this Santa outfit my friend Allyson found for a steal!

 She loves the Nativity Scene my mom gave her. It is little people & she has played with it every day! She even says "happy birthday baby Jesus" ~ so sweet!

 After church, we went to the Hall's for a little dinner. They knew we were alone & were so kind to have us over! We are so blessed to have such good friends as the Clark's & Hall's here in Johnson City!
                                Ellie & Barrett in their church clothes~ they are such sweet friends!

 We got home & were ready for bed!! But Ellie was such a big helper to put cookies out for Santa!

 CHEESE!! She was so proud, even though I don't think she really gets it...

Hope everyone had a blessed day!!! & just a little side note for myself for the future... at church tonight, right after Communion, Ellie signed & said out loud, "all done" hahaha! It was SO funny & some of the people around us giggled. She also said "Peace' at the sign of peace & AMEN!! The girl just warms my heart every day!
