Christmas Eve Service and presents!

Jonathan had to help out with the sound for the Christmas Eve service at church, leaving Jade and I two hours with nothing much to do on our hands. So I decided to get Jade all dressed up. First a bath and then hair rollers. She LOVED having me put her hair up in rollers and did not want to take them out.
Once they came out she was thrilled with her "bouncy" hair and was happy to pose for this picture.
She then took the camera to take a picture of me. Do you like my Christmas red lips?
During the church service she danced and sang with gusto during all of the Christmas carols. For the actual sermon however, we had to rely on the games on Dad's cell phone to keep her busy. And then...we all go to light candles. She was SO excited! Sat perfectly still holding up her candle and singing "Silent Night". It was precious, I couldn't resist taking a picture right in the middle of church.
After Christmas Eve Fettuccine and the reading of the Christmas story, we all got to open one present. Jade opened "Clifford" books from her Aunt Autumn
She was ready to read the books, not take pictures of them
Still, she demanding this last picture be taken with her face hidden.
Jonathan and I opened our Calendars that we buy each other. JB got a "Peanuts" calendar and I got one on making food! Now it's time to pull out the hidden presents from the garage and watch some corny shows. Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!
