Anyway, let's start with Christmas Eve. We started the day with a trip to the Way Off Broadway Breakfast with Santa. What a great way to start the day. The show was so full of energy and so much fun, it was just such a treat to watch the delight in Isabella's eyes as she watched the elves and Mrs. Clause frolic and play on stage. Then when Santa joined in on the fun-well, the crowd really got excited. It was such a great morning of fun, too bad the food is so lacking. (It really is terrible!)

Catching some of that Santa Magic!
I think all the excitement got to her because when we got home she asked if she could just go take a rest in bed. Rest she did waking nearly 2.5 hours later! While she napped, Jim and I ran up to the hospital to visit our nephew Justin who was hospitalized for complications following an appendectomy. (Justin has since been released and is doing well, thank God!)
Then it was time to get ready for church services. We were going to go to the 5:00 service as Bella was going to sing and ring the bells as part of worship. The 5:00 service is the children's service or as our pastor refers to it as 'Controlled Chaos'. That it is! It is fun to see all the little ones all dressed up in the Christmas clothes and see the excitement in their eyes and hear it in their voices. The children all did a great job singing and ringing and the service was very special.
Our serious one!
Then it was out for dinner and then on to home for our one present. New pajamas of course!
Gotta look good for those Christmas photos.
Snow Belle!
Next, we sprinkled the reindeer food, milk and cookies for Santa followed by a story before bed and then it was into bed for this little one! Off to dreamland.
Let sweet visions fill your head!
Post more on about our Christmas tomorrow!
