We made doughnuts for dessert on Christmas Eve, these two

are anxiously awaiting the final results! As you can see, Isabelle

is rubbing her hands together like crazy!

Arleigh, Brody, Isabelle and Emmery pose before

the program begins.

Isabelle was adamant about being baby Jesus again this year!
There was no way she was giving that job to Arleigh! She crawled into the baby crib put the blanket on her and wouldn't budge - the good thing was that we didn't have to keep after her to stay put!

So here is the crew, Brody as Joseph, Emmery as Mary, Isabelle as baby Jesus, and cute little Arleigh got to be the angel (with a little help from her mom!)

Each year on Christmas Eve the kids open one present (that we choose, of course) and this year ....suprise!...new pajamas for everyone! One year I'm sure they will realize it's not that exciting, because it is the same thing every time! Then we went outside and sprinkled magic reindeer food by the house, and up to bed they went!
