We enjoyed are usual Christmas Eve events this year... Junie and Papa came over again to help us act out Luke 2, Matthew 2...the story of Jesus' birth. We had discussed it earlier in the day, so the boys could pick out their parts. Jayce wanted to be Joseph, and he wanted me to be Mary. Jaeden decided to be a shepard, although he really wanted to be Jesus - but that went to Jaxon "babe on the move" NOT "babe, wrapped in swaddling clothes". Jaeden picked out the stuffed sheep animal for his prop, and Jayce picked out a frog. He informed us that Joseph rode to Bethlehem on a frog, and Mary walked. He enjoyed hopping on the frog through the living room. It's a good thing he wasn't the real Joseph!! Junie played a wonderful angel, and Jaeden, Papa and Dad were wonderful wiseman!!
Unfortunately, it's been raining most of the evening, and it's maybe the 3rd day it's rained in the last 3 months!! Anyways, the boys still made it outside to feed the reindeer, which they love to do!!
We set out a plate of cookies, and Dad asked if we should leave eggnog or milk for Santa. Jaeden (who likes eggnog) said "Definitely milk, because Santa might puke on eggnog, and then we'd have Santa's puke here in the morning. He would go, Ho! Ho! Blaaaahhh"
Our Christmas tree in the end. Joel and I only put silver and purple balls on the tree. It's hard to see our decorations with all the pre-school artwork and such added to the tree over the last month.
Merry Christmas!!!
