The Nativity

Well actually first, Christmas Eve dinner at Hu Hot!  Grandpa got them the "Indoor S'mores" dessert, it was fun!

They all enjoyed watching their food cook on the rotating giant frying pan!

After dinner we came back to our house and played Grandma's 80's Christmas Bingo, it was great! Here they are all dying because Katelyn said something she wanted and that was the next card Grandma picked--then she needed one more to get the first Bingo and that was the next one Grandma picked again!! It was so funny.

We had a fun Nativity play, we had never done it with these Murray girls before!  Whitney was the innkeeper, Eric and Naomi were Mary and Joseph. Katelyn was the angel.

Vivian and Emma were the shepherds.

Owen, Maris and Cleo were very convincing as the Wise Men.

They bowed and gave their gifts. Grandpa was the Narrator.

Then everyone came and bowed, impromptu. 

The gang in their Christmas pajamas on Christmas Eve before watching the Christmas Story! They are getting so big! :( Christmas for Kate at 16, Whit at 14, Owen 10, Maris 8 and Emma 5. It's still magical.

Emma and Maris had so many Christmas lights up in their room, that I could take this picture of Emma nestled snug in her bed! So sweet. And I love how peaceful and beautiful the tree always is.

Merry Christmas Eve!
