Christmas Eve and Morning

Christmas Eve tradition places us at church for the 4pm service and then back to my parents house. It was a wonderful service and a wonderful time with my family. We, as always, were so thankful my 93 and 94 year old grandparents were with us. They enjoyed their time with all the family as well.

The kids decided to put on a play of Mary and Joseph and the baby Jesus.

Christian, Haileyanna and Christian reciting Bible verses


Hailey was Mary and Owen was Joseph


Owen waiting for his arrival on the scene

And here they are




A little later in the morning Kevin's parents and uncle Dave and Aunt Joyce from Carmel, CA came and spent the rest of the morning with us. Here is Uncle Dave with the kids.


We then hosted about 25 people for dinner. Those pictures will come soon.
