Christmas Eve

My favorite day of the Christmas season is Christmas Eve. We always try to bring good cheer to someone. This year we visited Ardella, who used to work for us for Sound Opinions for a long time. It was so good to see her and talk with her for awhile. We miss her! Then we stopped by the Bilas' house. Mr. and Mrs. Bilas were Scott and my youth group leaders when we were teenagers. They will always have a special place in our hearts. We got to see and visit with Mrs. Bilas and that was a delight! It was so good to see her! We dropped a special gift off at our home teaching family's house and then went home for our steak dinner. After dinner is when our traditions begin. Each of the kids draws a name of another sibling and they buy a present for them. I love to see how much thought goes into buying the gifts and I love the expressions on their faces as they watch the person open the special gift they bought them.
