Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve at our annual spot...lunch downtown at Scala's and touring around the beautiful hotel Holiday displays.  Timo was so excited to wear his tie, doesn't he look so grown up??

Cheers!  Merry Christmas.

The children getting sneaky and giggly after lunch...whispering is a big thing right now, telling secretes of what Santa might be bringing tonight.

Cameron ate ALL her lunch so she could have chocolate ice cream...noting like a little bribe to get the plate clean!

Timo taking pictures with the camera...his sorbet and the nativity Daddy drew.  Pretty good shot except his finger was always in the way.

The Christmas tree in the St. Francis Hoel.  We then ran into some friends of ours, the Hirtzles! They were spending the day downtown too, riding cable cars.  All the kids loved the train under the tree.

We checked out some other window displays, a few more big trees and the giant rotating gingerbread house in the Westin Hotel before heading to church for the candle light service.

Our church service was beautiful, especially when the church was all lite in candle light.  Timo was being so extra specially careful so he could hold a candle.

Home to make few last touches on our cookies for Santa, we lite our final advent candle, read the Christmas Story and then all tucked in tight...Santa had some work to do!
