To be honest, I can't remember what we did on Christmas Eve day. That's what I get for taking so long to blog about past events! But Christmas Eve night was fabulous and filled with all of my favorite family traditions.
We got all dressed up and headed to the 5 o'clock service at John's Creek United Methodist Church. We practically took up an entire row with just our family, which was such a great feeling. Nathan took a bottle for the first half of the service and hammed it up for the ladies behind us once he was done. He was super well-behaved and I was thankful that he lasted the entire hour without fussing. Carter was great, too, sleeping the entire time on Kelly's lap.
An onslaught of photography ensued as soon as we got home and our baby models were such good sports. Nathan ate his dinner ahead of the rest of us and after receiving his Christmas pj's from "Santa", he went down for the night before we even ate dinner.
We feasted on yummy shrimp and pesto pasta, a dish that has helped us commemorate Christmas Eve for as long as I can remember. Each year in recent past we've taken turns preparing the meal and this time Mom, Dad and Alex pitched in. They did a great job and it was delicious as always!
More photos after dinner led to much silliness. It was such a relaxed evening and we all enjoyed each other's company and lots of laughter.

It was definitely strange to leave so many presents unopened but I think we were all exhausted! It was a great day :)
