"It's the most wonderful time of the year!" I would have to agree! I just love the family time, the laughs, the look on Bryce's face when she opens her presents from Santa. I just can't get enough! Christmas for our little family is very busy! We start on Christmas Eve at my grandma Rogers' house and have dinner and open presents there. We started a little earlier this year since we had to leave earlier to get B to church for her first Christmas Eve service. I love going to my grandma's. It something I have always done and Christmas wouldn't be the same without it!
After my grandma and grandpa Rogers', we headed to church with my parents and brother (Matt) for Bryce's first Christmas Eve program. She was so excited and practiced her songs all week! I was a little nervous that she wouldn't do that great due to not having a nap and it being so close to bedtime... She did AWESOME!! She sang so great and recited more lines than I thought she would. She adores Mr. Luke (her Sunday School teacher) and I think that had A LOT do with her doing so well. :)
The pictures are not the best. It was hard to get good lighting in church.
After Church, we headed over to Grandpa Banick's for some more family time and presents. I forgot to bring some "jammies" for Bryce and her cousins had changed into their "jammies", so thank goodness that Great Gramma/Grampa Rogers' gave her a new pair! She is so darn cute in "jammies"!
She had a blast playing with her cousins and being a "wild child" at grandpa's house.
Kyle's sister, Carrie made books about Patsy's (Kyle's mom) life. It was very neat to see all the old pictures and see how much Kyle resembles his mom. (But she had hair! :))
After Grandpa Banick's, we headed home to get Bryce to bed before Santa came. She surprisingly went to bed pretty easy. We needed to go to the 8:15 church service to fit everything in that day, so we had to wake Bryce up around 7. She was so surprised to see all her gifts!
After church, we headed to my parents. If you want to see LOTS of gifts spend Christmas morning at my parents! :)
Then we drive south to Oxford, Kansas for the Hamilton side. Bryce was "wild child" again, but we had a blast!
