Once dad & brother got home, we got ready to celebrate Jake's birthday. (Recapped in separate post)

| Happy Birthday Brother! |
Nana, Gran, Mimi, Granddad, Aunt Andrea, Uncle Johnathan & cousin Jackson all attended.

After celebrating Jake, we all got ready and went to Christmas Eve service.

When we took our family picture last year on Christmas Eve, we knew we were pregnant, but we were only a few weeks along. Because we had been pregnant & miscarried the previous 2 Christmases, I refused to get my hopes up. But this pregnancy took & gave us our sweet Hollon. And then 6 years ago on Christmas Eve (I wish I had a picture!) we went to Christmas Eve service, only to unexpectedly have precious Jake a few hours later. So Christmas Eve services bring me so many emotions.
After Christmas Eve service, Andrea & family headed back to Chattanooga & everyone else came back to our house for dinner.

Several rounds of hungry hungry hippos (one of Jake's birthday presents) were played
(Seeing this picture makes me realize I didn't take pictures of the transformer birthday decorations that our Elf put up.)
Mimi made Hollon's smocked Christmas bubble

We sent Hollon to bed and then Jake & I made cookies for Santa
