christmas eve


merry christmas eve everybody! we have made our own traditions this year... first of all we watched the first presidency christmas devotional, which you can download here... and a small nativity clip produced by the church, including testimonies from the first presidency, which you can watch here, before finishing off the night by watching my favourite movie (which coincidentally happens to be a christmas one...) love actually!


we are very lucky to have dougs parents her with us for christmas this year and maddie is enjoying every minute of it. this morning i caught her sneaking up to dougs dad, looking up at him and patting him on the knee before putting her arms up for a cuddle. i am pretty sure that she won his heart all over again with that one smooth move. she is loving all the attention - of course.


and what will the morning bring? there are already piles of presents under the tree with our little miss's name on them. i know she is going to have the time of her life.


maddie has also been gifted this amazing advent calendar tree by her aunty jen (rumour has it they'll be available online next year from her online store on madeit.com.au) it is the coolest thing ever - we have been putting on one of the handmade felt decorations each day and tomorrow we can put the star on the top.

i am so grateful to be blessed with the knowledge of what christmas is really about and hope that tomorrow reflects that. but in the mean time...

merry christmas to all,
and to all a good night!
