Scenes from Christmas Eve

Turner and Pop decorating the Sophia the First cookie castle - check out that mouth full of purple icing!

Rebekah, Turner, and I headed out for some last minute shopping!

Earlier in the morning, Turner had drawn a blueprint of a zip line that she wanted Pop to create.  We aren't sure if the idea came from watching Home Alone with me and Mark over the weekend?  Of course, later in the afternoon, Pop created a zip line in our yard with a plastic coke crate and some cable he had in his truck.

The neighborhood kids love for Mark to kick balls over our house to them while they stand in the front yard.  I guess his ears got cold?!

After the Christmas Eve service at church, of course we had to take our annual family photos in front of the Christmas tree.  Then we enjoyed a yummy dinner provided by Aunt Arlene - North Carolina BBQ and Brunswick stew.
