Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, Don's parents joined us for dinner and the Nativity Story.  Dinner was our traditional homemade soup bowls with potato soup.  After dinner, Don read the account of the Savior's birth from Luke 2 while the kids acted it out, and we sang Christmas songs.

The Angel with a Big Message




Luke appointing Grandaddy Head Angel

After a delicious dessert, Don's parents left and the kids started the process of getting ready for bed.  Everyone knows you can't go to bed on Christmas Eve without getting cookies ready for Santa...and carrots for the reindeer of course! 

Luke couldn't resist tasting one of Santa's cookies.  Good thing Santa doesn't mind sharing :)
