Christmas Eve At Our House

Excitement over stockings.


Anthony was more excited about the decoration on his stocking!


We ate our Christmas Eve dinner by candlelight.  Daddy read the story of the Birth of Jesus from our children's Bible.  


We had German Sour Potatoes for dinner, along with an apple salad.  Chocolate candy for dessert, of course!


After a long agonizing wait while Mommy cleaned up, it was present time.  First, a pose in front of the Christmas tree.


Joseph was first.  Dominic had to make it even more suspenseful by covering his eyes.


Anne, with a happy face.


Joseph with his new sword and shield!



Partway through, Dan had the kids run outside to visit Baby Jesus at the Nativity scene.


Mommy, with her grumpy little koala bear attached to her side, needed a little help opening her present.


More swords!


And it all ends with a glorious sword fight!
