*Christmas Eve*

It was sooo fun to be with my whole family. Christmas Eve is usually even bigger than Christmas for us... that's when we have the big family dinner and program. It was a blast this year, we had Grandma and Grandpa Mike come and Lorrin and I 'm so glad they were able to make it!


When dinner was over and cleaned up we had our program. Me and Mom were in charge of the Nativity (we even held practices:) and the kids did such a great job!
Skyla was our little angel.

Sadie Madie played Mary and Hunter played Joseph. Hunter was being shy and reserved and when he says to Mary "Will you marry me?" Nobody could hear him so I whispered in his ear to say it loud so everyone could hear, he yells "MARRY ME!" It was so funny!
At the end of the play the kids sang Silent Night and they did such a good job!
Me, Mom, and Jess sang a song after called "A Baby Changes Everything" and I bawled through it so Jess helped me out. Then it is our tradition to go around the room and tell each other what we were most grateful for that year. It was touching to hear what everybody had to say. When that was done Santa came and gave all of the kids a gift, they all got Christmas PJ's, we got them dressed and took ALL of the kids upstairs to Hunters room where they all slept (except the babies) and they so good and didn't wake up til like 7:00! What a fun Christmas Eve!
