Christmas Eve at the Keppys'

 I'm not sure where the last 2 weeks went but poof - they were gone!  And it was Christmas Eve and time to head to the Keppy's!  It was actually our turn to be with the Smiths but since we had spent Thanksgiving with just "them" and not the other families, Jaime said it would be fine to go elsewhere.  And since Jill's were headed to Iowa for Christmas, Jessi's family got us again!!

Our car felt empty as we headed north - we were basically going to watch them open their presents so it was an easy pack this time!  We decided to eat at Chick Fil A till we got there and saw the line wrapped around the corner - so we headed to a place by Jessi's house that is called Slim Chickens and it was excellent - we were both impressed!

We were already dressed for church and we all headed there for the 3:00 service!  It was a wonderful service and I was thrilled that even though the church uses a praise band, they sang famaliar carols!  After church we did the picture and it sure turned out nice!


Jessi and Gary had to help with the beginning of the next service so Glenn and I took the kids home and finished up dinner so we could eat as soon as they got home!  Delicious lasagna soup and homemade rolls - they're the best!


And then we were off to the drive through light show that Jessi had bought tickets for!  It was at the fairgrounds so very close - we did have to sit in line for quite a while but they had great Christmas music playing and we didn't mind the wait at all!

The lights were fantastic!!  I was impressed!  It was nice to just sit and relax as Jessi drove through it!



Most of the lights "danced" to the music that you tuned into on your radio so we turned it up loud and just had an awesome time!

After filling the socks and Kenzie putting out the Santa food and drink, we all headed to bed!  What a wonderful day!
