Before we headed to church Belle opened her first present on Christmas Eve, from Grandpa and Lizzie! She enjoyed ripping off the wrapping paper and loved listening to her newest "Twas the Night before Christmas"
We celebrate Christmas Eve with Bri's family every year by attending the service at the "home" church in Old Salem. Since the service is so popular there is a long wait to even get a seat! We arrived at 12:45pm for the 2:30pm service and let's just say Belle wasn't able to make it :(. Too much for a 15 month!! While we LOVE the beautiful service, we have decided that we might have to sit it out a few years until Ms. Belle is a little older and can truly enjoy it!
After the service we enjoyed a lovely meal at Bri's parents! The decorations were beautiful and we were so blessed by family fellowship! We also must have been really good this year with all the presents! Belle received a beautiful doll from Strasburg Children. She has matching dresses, too cute!! As you can tell in the picture she also received a high chair for all her babies. It was Gigi's when she was a little girl so we are honored to allow Belle play with it as well.
