Christmas Fun

The nativity reenactment.  I loved how "Baby Jesus" laid still on the floor the entire time.  She was in character the whole time.
After Caroling on Christmas Eve we reenacted the nativity. Christmas morning started at 5:30 and we had so much fun opening presents from each other.  My favorite part is watching what the kids bought for one another.  We went to church and then came home and started the turkey dinner, Dad's big cooking day.  I love how he makes everything just right.  The rest of the day was watching the  "Sunday Movies" that we got for them and a fire made by Little L and Dad.  It was a wonderful, relaxing day!

We got a grabber from Dad's grandparents and it became the wrapping paper picker upper.   Hahaha.  It was so much fun.

Off to church in our new Sunday dresses from Grandpa and Nana.

Dad doing his thing in the kitchen.

It was an awesome dinner!!

Our first fire in the upstairs fireplace was lit by Little L.

Wow! I didn't know Richard was such a chef! That dinner looks fantastic. Oh, what a fun Christmas :)
p.s. that grabber has been great for us too. We've used it numerous times trying to fish race cars out from under the oven!
