Christmas Eve

We have a tradition of reading the Luke story on Christmas Eve.  This year we decided to include the girls more.  Mark drew or print out pictures of the nativity scene.  The girls colored them and cut them out and then they became the actresses as we read.

They chose what they wanted to be.  Here we have Mary riding a donkey to Bethlehem.

The angel came to the shepherds while they were with their flocks.  (I didn't realize Megan was showing her belly, the little stinker!)

Then the wise men came to worship baby Jesus.

It was really fun and the girls enjoyed the story more this year than in the past.

Santa

This is the first year Kendra sat on Santa's lap!  She must really want that Merida doll with the horse.

 Megan was going to ask Santa for an Ariel doll, but then she saw a big tub of candy canes on the floor next to him.  So instead she asked him for a candy cane. 

 

Someone in nursery took this photo of Megan.  It is the cutest picture of her.  I don't know how they got her to smile like that!  Bless their hearts for taking it.
