Christmas Eve

We started the day by going to a candle light service at the Community of Christ church in Salt Lake. It was a beautiful service and it was really nice to socialize afterwards. Here is a video of the part of the service with candles:

Then we went shopping for groceries and went home to make a salmon dinner. Georgia wasn’t feeling great so she did not join us, but we had a really nice time eating as a family.

At night we put all the kids down. Ammon and Clarissa were very excited and had trouble falling asleep. Finally Clarissa fell asleep in the below position.

Ammon also fell asleep with his legs off of his bed. It was all quite amusing.

Once the kids were finally down, Lily and I got to work making preparations for tomorrow. We had fun setting the table, and got some pictures of our beloved table Christmas scene.

Lily assembled the stockings.

And she finalized the presents.

I helped clean and I also snapped some photos of some of our Christmas decor.

Lily decided to make some peppermint marshmallow, mint-chip, chocolate cookies. When they were done she announced they were the best cookies she has ever made. They were delicious!

Lily truly is the Christmas Queen (sorry Mariah Carey!) and she has done so much to make this season magical for our whole family!
