Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve was spent like never before! This was my first time going to school on Christmas Eve...and it ended up going really great! Joy brought her guitar and we packed up the manger scene and took it with us to class! We're thankful for the incredible opportunities that day brought!!
That afternoon Joy and I headed out to visit store owners on our street, and deliver goodies. These pics are a few of the highlights of our day. Our first stop was lunch at our favorite restaurant, The Yellow Umbrella (we call it this b/c there are tables with big yellow umbrellas sitting out in front). We brought them a gingerbread house that Sarah had given us...and they loved it! This is the family that runs the Yellow Umbrella.
We went to another of our favorite restaurants to share tea with the owner. We call her Mariah, and her restaurant Mariah's (b/c she used to play a Mariah Carey CD everytime we came in).
This lady and her husband opened the first bakery on our street...something we were very thankful for!!! She gave us these lil Santa hats.
We're so thankful for these neighbors, and the day we were able to share spending time with them!
