Our Christmas weekend didn't turn out exactly as planned, but we had a great one. We had planned on staying at home and then heading down to Salem on Christmas day, but we were here earlier in the week. Jared's uncle David passed away and we were here for the services and it didn't make sense to drive back and forth. No worries...Santa found us here in SoIL.
We started our gift opening on Christmas eve at Jared's parents house. We had a great meal and an overall great day.

After our day at the Collier's we headed back into town to get ready for the Christmas Eve Service at church. I have gone to Christmas Eve service for as long as I can remember. There is just something amazing about gathering together and remembering the real reason we are all together!

Christmas morning, we got up and went to church (I'm not sure we will ever be able to hold off Christmas morning again) and while there, Santa came!
