Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a busy day. I didn't pass my first glucose test for gestational diabetes so I had the pleasure of sitting for 4 hours Christmas Eve morning to get retested with the 3-hour test. During this time I was able to write out our Christmas cards and get them ready to be sent so it was actually quite nice...aside from the getting poked 5 times! (By the way my test came back just fine so no problems there!) The Christmas cards weren't sent until today the 30th but they should be arriving soon! Better late than never.
During this time my mom watched Megan and they had a blast. Megan sat on the counter for 2-3 hours making cookies. She had a blast as you can see from the picture! She loves cooking so this was an extra special treat!
We went to church that evening for the Children's Service. Megan stood for most of it watching the kids sing and play bells. She took the candle holders and pretended to play the bells herself. At the end of the service we sang Silent Night and lit candles. Megan held onto the candle with Michael for the entire song, we were amazed!
After church we ate pizza and watched the Rockettes dance on tv. Megan was glued to the tv. After that we opened presents with my mom. She got Megan some animals in her stocking and Megan wasn't interested in opening anything else for a while! She also received $ to buy her very own fish, she definitely knows what money is! She also loves her wagon. She kept telling Michael to put the wheels on. Overall Christmas Eve was a ton of fun and jump started the celebrations!
