I had a very nice Christmas Eve.
After a very foggy afternoon drive to Luck, I better understand why Santa needed Rudolph.
By design, I arrived a little early at the West Denmark Lutheran Church. I know that the pianist plays Christmas music for about 30 minutes before the service, so after greeting a few friends, I found a seat near the piano and settled in for an enjoyable listen.
I could see she was using a Jim Brickman book of Christmas music, he's a favorite of mine.
This is the church, although not the building, that I grew up in.
All Christmas Eves were spent with this congregation.
The balsam fir is what I always thought a Christmas Tree should be, and here, decorated with danish heart baskets and white lights, simple and perfect.
After church I headed to Kyle's to join the rest of the family for dinner and celebration.
We were lucky enough to be on Santa's route.

I encouraged the older kids to do a photo with Santa,
but a better idea was for all the kids to get in on a Santa pic.

Just as I was leaving, Noah arrived, he got busy spending some play time with Jude.
It was a fun evening with good food, good friends and lots of family.
Life is Good.
