We loved going out to eat last year and wanted to do it again. We had yummy Chinese food again. I secretly wanted to order roast duck.
After dinner we got there right at our scheduled time to have the missionaries over to help us with the nativity. It was fun having more people to help us and I think I will invite the missionaries over every year. :)
I think the highlight this year was when Tony had the fun idea of being the star and got his headlight. Jase did not want to be Joseph and when he saw his dad's light, our little flashlight guy wanted to be the star. Tony begrudgingly became Joseph, haha.
Max, Sister Young and Grandpa were the wise guys. Ryan was a shepherd and Sister Leavitt was an angel. Grandma was the photographer and I was the narrator. I'm hoping to have the wherewithall during the year to put together a few simple costumes this year.
After we said goodbye to the sister missionaries, we opened our Christmas Eve present, a book this year and had some cocoa and peppermint marshmallows that Grandma Kate had sent.
Then we tucked them into bed and Max had a hard time sleeping. He crawled into bed with me too. There was not a lot of sleeping that happened but enough happened that Santa was able to come undetected. And the loss of sleep is always worth it Christmas morning.
