Christmas Eve in Kingwood

We got to Kingwood on Friday afternoon and just hung out with everyone. Jessica & Roy had Christmas in Kingwood this year too so we all were together. Also, Grandma was here. Grandma is 91 so each Christmas we get with her is another special one.

Christmas Eve:

We got up and got cooking. The men watched football basically all day long. We had fun in the kitchen cooking and all of us just being together. I'll let the pictures share the story of Christmas eve day.

After cooking & football we got ready for church. I love Christmas Eve service. It is so nice to finally sit down and enjoy the reason for the season and being together. This Christmas I kept telling Justin this is our last Christmas we can just get ready and go and just sit around. EEEK SO crazy to think we will have an 8 month old next Christmas! The service was on humility and how everyone in the Christmas story exhibited humility. I really enjoyed it. Here are our photos from after church.

After church the Parkers came over to have snacks & desserts and to just all hang out.

Elissa painted these awesome canvas for me. They will look so perfect in the babies room! I can hardly wait to see how it all comes together.

I got Elissa a rooster for her kitchen. I saw it and it just screamed “Elissa!!!” So I had to get it for her! Kingwood Christmas (47)

We enjoyed all being together.
