Christmas Eve- 2010

It's tradition to get together Christmas Eve with the Peterson gang for our annual dinner of pizza and root beer floats. YUM!! We also had a talent show (if you will).

Chloe danced...
and Christian sang Jingle Bells, twice. We were so proud of them!!
They really enjoyed Uncle Andy's song because they were named in it. :)
Ryan wrote and read his annual Christmas letter of the years events. This is a highlight every year.
Mia and Emma did a magic show and dad read "Twas the Night Before Christmas." Then it was time for the Nativity Story. We had a few adjustments this year since our cast shrank with cousins moving away.

Christian and Chloe got to play Mary and Joseph.

Mary taking a break! :)
Chloe takes her role very seriously.They did so good!Then it was time for presents. The kids loved what they got from their cousin's.Then we visited a bit more and headed home to prepare for Santa's arrival. We sprinkled the reindeer food on the lawn that Christian had gotten at school and Christian got Santa's snack ready and picked the perfect spot.I have to admit that Christian had a hard time falling asleep this night! ;)

Wish we could have been there. Thanks for putting up the Christmas Poem...I hadn't seen it yet! He did a great job like always. Looks like a super fun time. Isn't it fun to watch your kids enjoy Christmas so much. I was going to tell you...My boys are really into Veggi Tales right now, so we thought Christian might like it. HOpe he does. The boys Song Leader in Church sings like a veggi tale guy, so that might be why they like him. ANyway... loved your Christmas Card too!

I love the chocolate milk with the cookies- That is what I call a great snack for Santa :) Joseph and Mary were adorable.
