This year Christmas EVE fell on a Sunday, so the morning was spent at church with a beautiful sacrament meeting Alyson helped narrate, it was a perfect way to start the day and the next few days. The Bird family came for appies and to sleep over, Gramma Hinko arrived to spend the night too. It was a very different year but we made the best of it and focused on the good we had before us.
That evening the cutie kids opened up pjs and looked so adorable, even Tessa had a new crocheted sweater to match the girls new pink hats. Treats for Santa and the Reindeer were put out, scriptures were read telling the story of Jesus' birth and although excitement ran high, the little folk were pretty tired too!!! It is wonderful to be a parent at Christmas and to be able to cherish the magic of it all.
New slippers for the Polischuk women - they were big hits!!!!
Before the adults went to bed I snapped a picture of the tree in all of its glory, it is the place the children run to when they wake. The tree is usually one of the first things we set up and the rest of the Chirstmas decorations kind of trickle into their spots after we decide where to put the tree. Every night in December when the rest of the house is dark the tree lights shine bright. That tree is the hub of it all.
