Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was full of music, food and festivities.  This is the least stressed we've ever been.

Molly found her favorite dollies early this morning.

 

Most of the day we prepped for our annual Christmas concert.  There is one rule -- all have to participate.

Rudolph

Chipmunk Song

I Saw Mommy Kissing Santa Claus

Jingle Bell Rock

Baby It's Cold Outside

All I Want for Christmas

The Nutcracker

Silent Night

Angels We have Heard on High

Fortnite Song

The Nativity

The Closing Song

This year's Feast of the Seven Fishes was epic.  The babies dove right over their barrier, but some how their parents still ate.

Salmon.

Clams and mussels.

Ceviche.

Crab leg, oyster, mussel and corn shells.

The shells.  Oh, Molly reminded me that Santa needed cooies, so I whipped some up while the dishes were being done.

Casual grouping of children -- Grandpa always shares a message.  This year he shared D&C 6 -- a verse and theme of gifts from God.

Our Nativity

A day filled with music and each other - the best kind of days.  Austin and I were up a little late doing some final prep, but we still fell into bed and dreamed of sugarplums.
