Christmas Eve & Day 2012

We met together as a family for the Christmas Eve festivities at Bonnie and Chad's. The cookies had been made for Santa, so the kids got to work frosting!










 We took some gifts to a needy family in the community, a family with 3 small boys. We bought them some new clothes, balls and toys. It was wonderful! 

After a delicious family dinner, we drew parts for the nativity. The kids have really come to look forward to acting out the nativity every year. They love to see what part they will choose.



 Grace the bearded shepard: 
 Jared and I got to play Mary and Joseph since we had the most recent baby (London played baby Jesus).


 We sang hymns and Chad read the story of the Nativity aloud. 





 We stayed at Bonnie and Chad's that night, since we had come from Caldwell, and all of the other cousins went home for the night. Here are the girls all ready in their jammies: 
 Santa came and left some wonderful gifts! Lots of dress-ups, suckers, books, magnets and baseball mitts!








 Mom even got a new stroller....thanks Santa :)
