Tonight we went to our church for a Christmas Eve communion service. We sat next to the Steeles. Here are Kate and Lily before the service got started. There were pictures of lit candles on the front of the bulletins for the evening, and they were blowing on them to blow the candles out.
Unfortunately, that was about the last time Kate actually sat still for the whole evening. The service started at the time Kate normally goes to bed at night, and she cycled through all of the Toddler Stages of Grief and Exhaustion before the night was over: Antsy, Crying, Squabbling and finally, Running Around in Circles in the Foyer During Communion. During that last stage, we had totally given up on keeping her in the sanctuary and Kate was alternating between dancing to the closing hymn and screaming "Christmas! Christmas!"
We did get all dressed up for the evening and managed to get a photo as proof. Merry Christmas Eve everyone!

Haley I'm starting to think you're making this pregnancy up. I see no signs of it in this picture. Although black is a flattering color...
I love y'all, and I wish I could have seen Kate's Christmas cheer this morning.

Well, Hannah, it helps if every time you're photographed, you hold a two-year-old in front of you. :) I promise you, the pregnancy is real and the baby is large and in charge these days. I'll post a photo soon.
