Christmas Eve

This Christmas Eve we enjoyed sharing the evening with the Carlsons and Kirkpatricks. After dinner we had a gift exchange the kids gave a performance, then we all took turns reading verses of the Story of Christmas from the Bible. It was a GREAT night.

reading about the birth of Christ... during which we sang "Away in a Manger", "Hark the Herold Angels Sing" & at the end, "Silent Night."

After the party had ended, Poopie insisted on making a sign for Santa in order to direct him to stop at our house. He put it outside on the porch. :)
