christmas eve

we spent the evening celebrating with family and friends. it was a perfect evening. there were tons of kids running around, so ethan had a blast. i believe there was a time during dinner when lance and i looked out and saw him following the bigger kids' lead at jumping off the ottoman onto the couch. even though he was the smallest one out there, he had no fear. it was adorable to watch. miles did well and enjoyed being passed around to visit with almost everyone there. the boys wrapped up the night in their absolutely adorable matching christmas jammies!

i am glad that we have this christmas eve tradition and hope that we'll keep it up for a long time. it is a wonderful time to connect and celebrate with people that we don't get to see all that often. plus you can't beat a house full of trains!
