the Christmas story *live*

Jenni and family invited us over for FHE on Monday night.  We had the kids "act" out the Christmas story and eat homemade donuts!

As Justin read the story, the kids tried to follow along and act out their parts. 

The cast:

Ella: Mary

Drew: Joseph

Brayden:  Monkeep (sheep with a monkey towel)

Morley: Wiseman

Mia: Angel

Phillip: shepard



The girls exchanged Christmas gift tonight, and we're spoiled!  Jenni is so generous and gave me a beautiful green crocheted hat AND a 16x20 print of the kids photo.  LOVE it all!  Mia gave Ella a Strawberry Shortcake DVD and baby clothes.  Ella gave Mia a ColorWonderful set with paints and Jenni received a gift certificate for a fabric store I love on etsy, a green beaded watch band she tried to sneak into her pocket one night (ha ha), and the chance to be Kelly's photography assistant for a session with newborn twin boys!  It was really fun to surprise her with that one!

I am so thankful for amazing friends who share their love with our family!
