Christmas 2012

 Christmas day wasn't horrible, but it ended up that Cary and Britton spent the day sleeping and fighting fevers still. I wasn't feeling well and I had a massive cold sore breaking out below my nose, but I still had a lot to do that day. (Cary now calls my cold sore the "Hitler mustache", that's how big it is!) Thankfully, Alex and Rosaleen took Aidan and Ella for most of the day so I know they atleast were having fun. ☺

Christmas dinner was awesome as usual, but Cary and Britton weren't able to enjoy it, they came over for a minute and then went back home. Thanks to everyone that helped with the decorating and making my life easier. ;)

Ella excited to be drinking out of a glass cup.

Christmas Eve/ Candlelight Service 2012

The usual Nativity play, candlelight service and dessert potluck.

Aidan was the "guard" this year in the play and Ella was an angel again. (by request)

Cary and Britton had been running fevers all day but they popped over for a minute to see the play but obviously Britton wasn't able to participate as a sheep.

This year was quite different than last year for our kids, they actually wanted to be in the play this year and they were excited about it!

 No whining and crying. (Except when I tell them that it's over now and they won't be doing it again until next year.) ☺

 

Ella was not cooperating for pictures, so this is the only one I got with the two of them. ☺
