Christmas Eve and Christmas Day

Our traditional Christmas Eve dinner--ham, potatoes, rolls and jello parfaits.





We acted out the nativity.  Emily was Mary and Darrell was Joseph this year.  (We have to take turns).



Megan was the angel.



And Tyler was a wiseman presenting gifts to the baby.



The kids were able to open up one present.  Since they have lots of jammies and got new robes last year, they got new pillows this year.  (Tyler, Emily and Megan)





The kids wrote their notes to Santa and left cookies and 9 carrots for the reindeer.



Christmas morning--so exciting!  (Tyler, Emily and Megan)

Christmas was on a Sunday so after seeing what Santa brought and having breakfast, we headed to church.  (Megan, Tyler and Emily)



We woke up to a white Christmas!



After church and a quick lunch, it was FINALLY time to open up the presents!

Then it was time to play with the gifts.

Emily with her own Build A Bear animal stuffing machine.





Megan with Fashion Plates.  (I had that when I was young too.)





Tyler creamed us all on his air hockey



Operation (another oldy, but goody, from my childhood)



It was a good, blessed day.

Brenda sent us matching socks.  (The girls both wanted the pink pair so they had to split them up.)
