Christmas

Christmas Eve day Ellie and Liam played games with Nancy to pass some of the time until the big festivities.  

 The kids all dressed up for the Nativity.  There was a lot of silliness and laughing, but they performed well.

 This year my mom decided to be the donkey.  I'm not sure it was the best idea she's had because she couldn't stop laughing.

 Joseph and Mary

 The angel talking to the shepherds.

 We did something new this year.  Janet's dad told the story behind the song Silent Night and then we all sang while my dad played the guitar.  It was fun even though none of us are great singers.

 The kids in their Christmas Eve pj's.  They kids picked their own out this year so it wasn't a surprise, but they were still excited.

 My only picture of Christmas morning.  Liam was so excited that he couldn't sleep the night before.  That meant that I didn't get much sleep because Liam crawled in bet with us.  Liam had an amazing Christmas.  He got lots of Star Wars Legos and we all went and saw the new Star Wars Movie. 

 The whole family on Christmas Eve.
