Christmas Eve

We picked up Nana & Grandpa Ward at 10am on Christmas Eve. We came home and while Brennan napped Nana and Sean made coffee cake - a family tradition for Christmas Day. At 4:30pm we left the house to go to church - we trudged through the slush and snow only to find that church services had been canceled due to the weather! So, we headed to Bellevue and found a great place called the Mediterranean Kitchen. Everything was fantastic, and we were totally stuffed. Then, we walked to downtown Bellevue for Snowflake Lane. Brennan had just a blast with the drummers and his highlight was when one of the drummers let him have their sticks and he played on her drum for one whole song. After that we headed home, and after watching the end of the ND football game, we headed out to Sammamish Hills Lutheran for 9pm services. Brennan broke out in a boisterous loud song not long after the service began and so he and I ended up in the quiet room for the rest of the service. It was a great night!
