Christmas Eve

We enjoyed a delicious Christmas Eve feast at Matt's parents house.  Every year we read, "A Star in the Pasture."  It is tradition.  Matt's family read it when they were kids on Christmas Eve.  This year John put the pictures from the story on a big screen so everyone could see!

We also had a Slipper Exchange!  Everyone drew names and gave slippers!

Ella had a rough night, she was sick with a bad cold.  She cried all through dinner.  The only thing that made her happy was Carol's singing mouse decoration.  All the kids love it, the adults, not so much.  It sings, "We Wish You a Merry Christmas" in a high pitched mouse voice and her nose lights up.  We played it over and over again so Ella wouldn't cry.  Then, she finally fell asleep.

At home later, all ready for bed in their Christmas Jammies!
