Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve wouldn't be right without the family nativity! Mom made these great costumes many years ago, but they were made for kids, somehow I guess it is a compliment that we can fit into them one way or another!
Carter was Joseph and Sydney was Mary.

I would never call my dad an ass, but that was his part that night. Carter was good at keeping Sydney on as she kept trying to see Grandpas face.
Neil was one of the wise men. Sydney couldn't resist, she thought it was time for family prayer so she joined them on her knees.
My boys in their new Christmas PJ's. This year we got the kids a trampoline. It is the first year we've had to put anything together. We started about 9:30pm, and finally headed inside around 12:30am. It was a good sign that Neil and I never got too fisty at each other during those 3 hours. We would have been done much sooner, but putting up the outer side was a bit tricky and so we ended up redoing all the springs 3 times. We had mastered the way to count, hook, and hold the springs by the final time! It fit in the backyard, but just barely!
