Part Two...

On Saturday, we celebrated Christmas with the Ford fam.  It never disappoints. We had more yummy food and the kids opened lots of gifts! Thanks Memaw & Papa for everything! 
Mackenzie and Davis are so blessed & loved!


I'm not sure what really is the truth....BUT Davis told Memaw thanks and that Mackenzie told him she was getting him the lifesaver.  She was quick to deny! So, who knows?!?! ; )


Mack was really excited about her new Dauphin Tale Barbie! You can never go wrong giving this sweet girl a new barbie!


Christmas Eve we went to our chruch Candlelight Service. We were proud to watch our little acolyte light the candles in celebration of our Savior. Also, our family was asked to light the advent wreath candles and recite some scripture. Each of us said a few things, including Davis. Mackenzie was great..she said the opening and ending saying a prayer. She was very composed and did not act nervous one bit. Daddy lit all the candles for us. What a special evening with my little family.
As always, the service was very moving and had me in tears at many times.  Watching my baby walk down the isle...then lighting the candles, while singing Joy to the World = Tears. Tears. Tears. Oh Holy Night, being sung is a given. More tears. I feel so blessed to be a mother to these two. I can't imagine the emotions Mary must have felt!!  

After church, we came home to eat some munchies and decorate cookies for Santa.





We always have to feed our reindeer some yummy food...


We kept hearing this soaring noise that we thought might be Santa, so we rushed to feed the reindeer just in case he was near. Davis was getting real frustrated with Mackenzie, because she was spreading her food throughout the yard and he wanted her to hurry in fear Santa might be near!


We said our goodbyes to Sabrina and Leon, who entertained us throughout December...



and off to bed they went....
part 3 coming! ; )
