Christmas 2011

We usually start Christmas out with a brunch in the morning sometime and we did this year too, but I didn't get any pictures of that and now I'm sad that I missed so much. If only I could split myself into multiple people...☺

 I did one of these Hanukkiah's at my house and decided to have one over at the center too.

Rosh Chodesh happened to be that night too, so those of us that like to observe that went out on the balcony and looked for the new moon and blew the shofar. ;)

Candlelight Service 2011

Some photos of the Christmas Eve service that we had on Saturday night, but I threw in two photos from church earlier in the day when Cary was playing the piano and Ella ran and sat by him. Ooops. ☺

Like I mentioned earlier, Aidan REALLY did not want to be in the play, but we kept pep talking him into it.

 Ella: "Mom, I an angel! I so pretty!"

 Uh, yeah...see Aidan? For whatever reason, once he got up there and it started he turned into a ham and didn't seem bothered by being up there. It could have been that the lights were off and the spotlight made it so that he didn't know lots of people were watching. ;)

 Ella was the angel that goes everywhere with everyone. Both kids ended up having a lot of fun and they were sad when it was done. ☺

If you are so inclined...
