Christmas Eve 2008

For Christmas Eve this year we had our good friends the Bench's over for dinner, Christmas carols, and our attempt at a program. First A and I combined forces and created what I thought was a pretty fantastic dinner, and then got everyone dressed in character to act out the Nativity. This was a Christmas tradition in both my home and Mike's growing up so it was a must have in the program. Mike narrated while the rest of us acted it out. The kids did a great job and A & C were nice enough to be Mary and Joseph. We then sang carols (thanks C for your help in this area w/o your great voice it would have been pretty weak) and then had dessert. It was a fun night! Thanks Bench family for sharing it with us- repeat next year?

Mary & Joseph



The cute shepherds



Our little wisemen



I love this picture because it shows how sweet J is. He is Hudson's age and he was so soft with the baby Jesus. He is going to be a big brother in about 3 weeks and I can tell from this little display of sweetness that he is going to be awesome at it!




The whole Nativity



Mike's Favorite- the group photo



The last picture of the evening
