Christmas eve was a day of catching up, there was cleaning to do, shopping to do, mince pies to make, cookies to decorate and of course mulled wine to make and enjoy.
We had decided to go to a local church for a family service, I had taken the kids to the church for the first time the week before for the nativity play. The kids had enjoyed it so much, Heather was in the middle of the floor giving some ballet dance routine to every hymn and Finlay was close behind her with rhythm in his step. I could see the congregation looking and smiling and as long as they were not in the way, I was happy for then to enjoy the music. They were offered a lamb outfit and an angel outfit and asked to join in on the play.
We met Angeline with her kids, Felix 4 and Ansophie 2 at the family Christmas Eve service at 5pm where we were welcomed with "Oh here comes the dancers!!!!!".And then it was back to our house for mulled wine mince pies and snacks. The children were all excited and played well and then they even tracked Santa on the computer. Once their friends left Heather and Finlay were full of purpose and eager to organize the treats for Santa and Rudolph. Carrot and apple for Rudolf and a gingerbread man and apple juice for Santa!!! Then off to bed in anticipation.
