o holy night... [updated with more pictures]

the stars are brightly shining // It is the night // Of the dear Savior's birth!
Long lay the world in sin and error pining // Till he appear'd and the soul felt His worth
A thrill of hope // the weary world rejoices // For yonder breaks // A new and glorious morn!
Fall on your knees // Oh hear the angel voices // Oh night divine // Oh night when Christ was born
I hope you all had a joyful Christmas Holiday! {it feels like I should pause to hear your response here, but this is a blog about the Powers family, so I will continue} :)

Ours was a whirlwind of family, fun and food!  On a side note, Adilyn was ridiculously blessed with gifts this year!  Although she wasn't as into unwrapping gifts as I thought she might be, she does seem to love all of her new toys now!  We are quickly realizing that it is time to get a jump start on finishing the basement, if only to have a place to keep everything...
Here are a few peeks (having technical difficulties - so I'll try to post more later) into our Christmas Eve & Day celebrations...
Adilyn's Christmas stocking...

the first gift of the night...Baby Jesus to lay in the manger

opening a few other gifts

blowing out one of the candles from the Birthday cake for Jesus (see Dan "not" helping)
long day for such a little girl - but she was smiling & giggling to the end!

Merry Christmas Eve with G+G Peltier

then we went home to open a couple of gifts under the tree...
Adilyn's gift to Mommy + Daddy (she made it while at daycare)

then we went to G+G Powers house for Christmas Day

All dressed up - and took your first 6 consecutive steps alone
(only Daddy & Great Aunt Cindy saw it the 1st time)

opening all of your gifts!

quick picture with Great Grandpa John + Great Grandma Grace on Christmas Day
