The Celebration Continues.. Christmas Eve

These are just some pictures of how we spent more of our day. The girls made sugar cookies,the boys watched several episodes of The Muppet Show, Craig took several naps. There was even a few games of Uno played. Then we had lunch and got ready for Christmas Eve service. We went to the 3pm service and Shoshannah sat through the entire service:)YEAH. Then we came home and cooked our traditional Christmas Eve dinner.. Grilled steak, baked potatoes, salad, and popcorn shrimp. It is wonderful.
We will end our night reading the Christmas Story from the book of Luke.
And of course tracking Santa for my older children! Shoshannah has no idea who he is.

The Celebration Continues... Christmas Eve

One of our family traditions is that we open a family gift on Christmas Eve Day. Usually it is a game and or movie. This year we opened three gifts. One being a new Ono game, Pictionary on DVD,Disney Version, and Pirates of the Caribbean 3. We will be watching the movie tonight. And playing the game when Shoshannah goes to sleep.

The Celebration Continues..Christmas Eve

For her birthday, Danielle wanted to go to Chick Fil A for dinner. Well, her birthday fell on a Sunday so we said we would go on Saturday. Alas, she was sick on Saturday. Bright and early this morning we piled into the van and headed to Chick Fil A for breakfast. I am thinking we should add this to our traditions.

Let the Celebrations Begin... Happy 11th Birthday Danielle

Eleven years ago in Bremerton,WA, I gave birth to our fourth child. A beautiful baby girl we call Danielle.She is so lively and easy going and brings much love and joy to those who know her. We thank you Lord, for giving us the gift of Danielle. Happy Birthday baby girl. We love you!

The Outfit can make the woman or in this case the girl

Notice the presents under the tree? We snuck a few in to see if she would notice..So far so good.

These pictures just show a side of our classy, sassy little girl. She wore this outfit to church this morning and was the hit of the toddler department. Even her Sunday School teacher said she was more sassy acting. Hmmm was that a good thing??

A Christmas Gift for Shoshannah's Sisters

In honor of Annalee, Ava Brackett, Ava Bogen, Gracie, Anna Grace and Marie we made a donation today to World Vision. Since most of our girls came home with Giardia we know how important clean water is. So here is the gift..

Water sources at Angolan and Kenyan schools are often contaminated, causing frequent diarrheal infections that keep children out of class and can endanger their lives. Your gift will deliver enough water treatment tablets to provide safe drinking water for up to 250 children for one year.

May God bless each of you in a special way this Christmas Season.

With love,
The Bacon Family
