Christmas Eve

On Christmas Eve, we had the Nelsons (some friends from our new ward), Clinsey and crew, Brian and Brooke, Emma and Jon, and my parents all over for Christmas eve dinner and a little pageant!  Emmy was an angel. 

 Dora was a shepherd.

 Emma and Jon looked smashing.

 Here is Eli, the Narrator for the pageant, sitting on his stool and narrating.  He did so well, he was so cute and serious about it.  He even practiced it all once!

 Whit was the prophet Isaiah.

 My dad was the prophet Micah.

 Here's Brian, the angel Gabriel!

 Mary and Joseph came to ask for room in the Inn.  Innkeeper Colin turned them away but finally decided to send them to his barn.

 Here are the angels telling the shepherds to come see the baby Jesus.

 Here's Tessa, with her sheepskin over her shoulder.  She wasn't a very good sheep...

 Aren't they cute angels??

 Here is Dora with our more obedient (and leashed) sheep.  We never did get Foxy to baa, though.

 My glowing little angel!!

 Here are the cute little shepherds!

 Angels and shepherds get bored when left alone...

 My little narrator.  So handsome, so sweet.

 Mary, Joseph and the baby.  ;)

Merry Christmas to anyone who reads this.  We are so grateful for the gift given by our Savior and the ongoing gift of His atonement.  Oh how we love the knowledge we have and the gospel in our lives.
