*~Christmas Eve~*

It is tradition for us to go to New Market Bapist Church for the Candlelight Service every Christmas Eve and then we head over to Birdie & Orvil's to open presents.

This year, I learned that this has been a tradition for Josh since he was young. I am so glad that we are able to still keep the same traditions he has grown up with!
