Christmas Eve started off just like every other year, with Christmas Eve service at church. Ty and I opted for some dressy attire and joined the family for the annual service. Ty even sat with the kids during the children's message very nicely. After church we headed over to Dad & Mom's for dinner and gifts.
It was a strange Christmas Eve for me this year. I was missing my "normal." It was not only the first Christmas Eve that I spent without not only one, but both of my brothers, but also the first Christmas Eve I can remember without my cousin, Jordan, there as well. Since Stephy came into Matt's world, she had never missed a Christmas either. It was strange without them all there and I missed everyone.
After we ate and clean up had commenced, Ty got a special visitor...Santa!
Ty gave Santa a big hug and hopped right up on his lap for a quick chat before gift-opening.
Ty had a great time opening his gifts from everyone! His clothes were covered in stickers, he sported his new hat proudly, and the discovery of the Rock Em Sock Em Robots he picked out of the Fleet Farm Toyland Catalog was quite exciting for him! Of course, as soon as the robots were attached to the boxing ring, he decided that was no good so off they came!
Ty and I are very thankful for our Christmas gifts and we love them all! Thanks everyone!
