Wow, what a sight we had on Christmas Eve and Christmas for that matter! Snow on Christmas Eve in Texas! Who'd have thought? Certainly not me. I spent a couple Christmases in Maryland as a child and never had a white one. At first it started snowing and wasn't sticking but we probably had three inches Christmas morning. I spent the morning baking cookies for Santa, of course. Chris prepared lasagna so it'd be ready to put in the oven after church. We got ready and left extra early in case the roads were bad. We went to our former church to their children's service. I spent all of the second half in the foyer walking around with Bennett watching it on TV. :) Ella enjoyed it. Brooke, John and Brooke's parents joined us for the service. The kids got ready for bed and Ella put out her letter for Santa with the many pictures of items she thought sheneeded with a plate of cookies and milk. She then went out in the freezing cold and put out the reindeer food that has special sparkles that light up so the reindeer will find our house. Then it was time to read the new Christmas books they got for their "first" present. They open one gift on Christmas Eve and it's a new Christmas book for each. Since Ella LOVES Fancy Nancy I thought she couldn't go a Christmas without the new book out this year. Bennett received The Christmas Baby. Just one of our Christmas traditions.
