Christmas Eve Fun

Here’s the fam acting out the nativity. Amelia was the sweetest Mary. Spencer was supposed to be Baby Jesus, but then Amelia wanted to hold her own doll, and then Eva wanted to be a part, so she came along as Strawberry Shortcake holding a doll. Three Baby Jesuses… I don’t remember that part in the bible!

The girls went up in town to look at the little train display and to visit some friends in the ward.

Crazy cousins!

This boy is the cutest thing I’ve ever seen. I couldn’t stop kissing his cheeks.

Amelia & Claire opened up new stockings on Christmas Eve.

Aunt Ashley was a hit with new nail polish and crafts for the little girls.

The shepherds

Oh heyyyy Strawberry Shortcake!

After the kids were in bed, we went to Christmas Mass over in Cincinnati where my dad played trumpet and sister played violin. A fun tradition but weird to go without my brother.

My little Elf opened up new jammies on Christmas Eve, thanks to Danica!

The shepherds took a detour for a drink on their way to see Baby Jesus.

One of cutest Kings I’ve ever seen!

Claire wrote this cute note to Santa on Christmas Eve with cookies and milk.

It was a fun Christmas Eve… a little crazy with so many people, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. Being together for the holidays is so special. I know it won’t be like this forever as we all grow our families and can’t always come back, so we tried to enjoy every minute! Can both sides of families just move to one central location so then we CAN be together every Christmas???
