Christmas 2010

I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday season!  For Christmas, we spent a week at Ali and Justin's home in Seattle.



Eden and Eloise-- heading out to see Christmas lights!


Cousin play time: Eloise and Emelia


Staring Contest

On Christmas Eve, we drove down to Olympia to be with Rhonda's family at Kevin and Chanel's home.  It was SO FUN to be with them.  We ate a delicious buffet style dinner, had an award-winning re-enactment of The Nativity, and the kids enjoyed a gift exchange.  

Yup.  That's right.  Eloise played the part of Baby Jesus.  And, wasn't Eden a LOVELY Mary?


Thomas came bearing gifts.


Mark played the part of Joseph.  All three took their roles very seriously.



After being offered a choice of an Angel or Cow, Mia settled on the role of a Butterfly.  She, in fact, was quite insistent she play that part.  I'm sure the original translation of The Bible included a butterfly on the scene.

Bravo!



Twas the Night Before Christmas...  Need I say more?



CHRISTMAS MORNING!!
















Oh dear.  Someone told Eloise Christmas was over.
