On Christmas Eve, we got the costume box out and donned outfits to portray the Nativity story from the Bible, thinking that would be fun for Connor and Brenna. Actually, they didn't want to take part, only to watch. You missed great acting, as Aaron became "Joseph" and Alice was "Mary". Elizabeth, Deborah, and Kevin played ALL the other parts (inn keepers, angels, shepherds, Wise Men). I was the narrator. We're looking forward to future years with more family members present!
Afterward, Brenna had to check out the cradle.
And of course, Christmas Eve dinner.
It was a very nice Christmas Eve, even though there was no snow. Later, we read "The Night Before Christmas" and outside, sleigh bells rang. Santa's sleighbells! Time for bed! Even though Alice knows about Santa, she still wants to believe. And that's alright with me.
