Christmas Eve Mass

Christmas Eve mass was nuts this year. Our church got so packed so early. I barely got there on time but I was able to get us seats. There was like 18 of us at mass so we take up a large area. The kids actually did pretty good during mass and entertained each other with snacks and coloring. We snuck in some family pictures on the alter before heading home for the rest of our Christmas Eve festivities. We grew up spending Christmas Eve with our cousins and opening presents from Aunts and Uncles so that is what we continue to do after mass. Instead of a full dinner we just put out lots of yummy appetizers and have some of the ridiculous amounts of cookies we made weeks before. The kids had lots of fun opening their presents. Both Everly and Aspen got babies and have been loving them. Everly has actually been playing with a lot of Aspen's toys including a vet kit and an art table. We were tired when we finally got home that night but excited to open up Santa presents the next morning with the girls.
