Christmas Eve









We had a great, quiet Christmas Eve. We did our nativity scene first thing in the morning to make sure everyone was awake and happy. We had a great time. Mia, who was Mary, loved riding around on Hans, who was the donkey. Justin made a cute Joseph. Katelyn was a beautiful angel. Ashley was all of the other parts. I narrated. Very cute. I am hoping my children understood the real meaning of Christmas this year. We sang a Christmas song and read a Christmas Scripture and Story every evening of December and I think that helped. After our re-enactment they each opened one present. It was very exciting. We spent a quiet day playing. It was so nice to have Hans home since he had been so busy with work and church the other days and evenings. We went and saw Tangled in the late afternoon, which was really great. Then we came home, ate dinner, and went to bed. A great day all around.
