Christmas Eve

We went to Grandma Lori and Grandpa Matt's 

for Christmas Eve dinner, games, and fun.

The kids did a nativity play (so cute)!

Jonas was Joseph, Carlie was Mary, Eli was a donkey then a shepherd, Conner was a wise man, Hannah was an angel, and Kate was baby Jesus (replaced with a toy when she started crying).

 Lori and Matt have a foreign exchange student student from
Germany living with them this year.

His name is Daniel, and he is so nice.
He gave each of the kids a chocolate egg with a toy inside from Germany.

Back at home, we got on jammies, 

then read "T'was the Night Before Christmas" together. 

(We read Luke 2  during the Nativity play.) 

Christmas cookies for Santa.
