Christmas Eve
We have had a great holiday. Ray has been home a lot which has extended our holiday a bit. We are so grateful for all the friends that have been around for Christmas. We've just had a lot of fun with everyone. After going to a fun party on Saturday night we had a little get together on Christmas Eve. This picture was taken with a timer so it wasn't quite centered (sorry Jeff) but it includes everyone.
The kids acted out the nativity story. It was short and very sweet. Our little friend that played Mary was so sweet and she sat there through the whole thing enjoying holding the baby. No one wanted to play Joseph so that was Jack's role but he wasn't into the costumes. He sat down so we quickly had Mary sit by him and that lasted for a few seconds before he was off in another direction.
In Kate's words she was the wise-man-girl. She brought baby Jesus and Mary a present who had a great expression of excitement in this picture.
Here's a picture of all the kids (angel on the right, shepard in the middle hugging the animals). It was really fun to watch the kids act out the roles after hearing the story of baby Jesus' birth.
Before the night was over the kids spread "reindeer chow" outside. It was a mixture of oatmeal and glitter that Kate made at preschool.
