what Christmas Eve looks like

munchies for all

my Korean pear had a Christmas star!

cranberry-apple-pear pie prepared for Christmas dessert

stocking silliness

cookies

coffee

playing violin in the Christmas Eve service at church

last minute gift-wrapping

six stockings on the mantle (Andrew, Nathan, Sarah, Jared, Stevedad, Carolmom)

gifts under the tree late at night

contentment in our home.
