since we stayed home this year for christmas, we spent time with our church family on christmas eve attending the family service. this service is always fun and meaningful for the kids as they all get to participate in the telling of the nativity story by dressing up as angels, shepherds, or wise men. this year, the boys chose to be shepherds. they were amazing at being patient and listening to what they were supposed to do and truly enjoyed having such an important part. the service always ends with the congregation singing silent night and lighting candles which is so meaningful, and the boys were thrilled to each have their own candle!
