Christmas Eve

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and could feel the excitement of Christmas building, especially with these two little excited boys! We went to a beautiful candlelight church service with Nana and neither one wanted to stay in the nursery so we let them stay with us. Hudson did pretty good during the service and asked many, many questions! He was so excited about the candle he had a very hard time keeping his child candle "light" out till it was time. Jack was very interested in where the kids from the kids choir went and the baby the Pastor used in the sermon went and he LOVED the songs. The candlelight songs were made more special seeing their little eyes light up with the beauty.

We let the boys exchange gifts with each other. Jack got Hudson a "Cars" ornament and a car that Hudson picked out while shopping with us a few weeks ago and told us he would just "forget" he got it when Xmas came around.

Hudson got Jack an ornament that sings his favorite Xmas song, "Frosty the Snowman".  Jack was with us when he bought it and Hudson had such a fun time trying to figure out which ornament he liked best and hiding it behind his back to get ti to the check out so Jack wouldn't see it. 

Hudson also got Jack a book that Hudson got from the school library that Jack really liked. Jack loves when the animals eat salad in it. 

The boys trying out their new sleeping bags Nana got them.
