Christmas Eve 2017

Christmas Eve 2017 was full of fun! We started our morning at church, which of course for me meant the cry room for a nursing session/nap for Clara. After the service, we took a few pictures in front of the Christmas tree in the lobby. It was also Luke's last week at our church since he'll be in TN unpacking next week!

After church we headed back to my parents for an easy lunch and opening gifts! Noelle and Jonah could not wait until lunch was over and kept asking when it was time to open presents!

It also happened to be Clara's half birthday on Christmas Eve. How is she already so big? She's been getting lots of love from her grandparents and aunts and uncles with all the family in town!

It's also been surreal to think that this is our last Christmas while we live in MD. Next time we're here for Christmas, we'll be visiting!

And I'm going to miss being near my sister, Jason, and Holden!

We all wore our pajamas! (Perfect for eating all the food!)

And the cousins had matching jammies!

And we had all the usuals- my whole side of the family plus my mom's best friend and her family. 

Plus the group just keeps growing with all the babies!

It was definitely a joy filled first Christmas Eve for Clara!
