This time one year ago...(Steele's First Christmas Eve!)

Seasons Greetings, y'all! Patrick and I can't help but to reminisce about this time last year. I found out on December 10th that I was pregnant, but I didn't reveal it to my family until Christmas Eve (Blog post in December 2013 archive.)

Every day, as we look at our sweet Steele River, we are amazed at the miracle that God gifted to us! From a thing smaller than a mustard seed to a handsome, smiling, patient and well-tempered little boy! He has forever blessed our lives. Every Christmas season from this moment forth will be so much more memorable as Steele grows and learns about the true meaning of why we celebrate.

Tonight, Steele attended his first candlelight service at Hope and Life. He listened to the worship team and looked in amazement at the new LED lights we used instead of candles this year.

After the service, we made our way over to the annual Christmas Eve dinner hosted by Aunt Peg and Uncle Jo at their home.

Below are a few snapshots to commemorate the evening:
