Christmas at the White House

Christmas at the White House

I hope you all had as wonderful a Christmas as we did at our house.
First, we had Christmas Brunch at our house with Brian's mom and brother's family on Christmas Eve. Nessa was so happy to spend time with her cousins. She loves them so much, but we don't get to see them as often as we'd like with everyone's busy schedules.
We went to the Children's Christmas Eve service at our Church. Nessa was so good...She was quiet and listened to the songs and the Christmas Story the Priest reads to the children. The priest has all the children join him at the front of the church to read the story then they all walk around the congragation to take the baby Jesus to the manger. Then at the end of the service Santa comes in and prays to the Baby Jesus and then the priest says a blessing and asks the congragation to join him in blessing Santa for a safe journey and such. Nessa was so cute holding her little hand up with everyone else to bless Santa.
Christmas morning

Nessa got lots of new toys. Baby Dolls, Care Bears, a DikaDikaDo (microphone for those of you not in the know), a Kaya American Girl Doll, and dress up clothes. She also got this beautiful rocking horse that moves and sounds like a real horse.

Christmas Evening, we watched Chronicles of Narnia, at least the first part. Nessa liked the popcorn in Daddy's bowl the best.

Wishing you all a happy 2008!
