Today we celebrated Christmas Eve. We shared lunch with my parents and Becca B. (Photo credit for my first three photos goes to Gram and Papa's auswanderer blog. Check it out to see more) above you see Heidi making home made corn dogs following Gram's special recipe.
After lunch we reenacted some scenes from the Nativity while Papa read Luke 2. As you can see Heidi and I were cast as Mary and Joseph.
Rebecca did a stellar job as the angel announcing the birth of Jesus to the awestruck shepherds. She quoted multiple verses of scripture from memory. David decided he wanted to be on the camera crew this time and took some great pics.
After that we exchanged gifts with Gram, Papa and Becca B. How special it is to have them living close by.
This evening Peter got to be a Shepherd in a second performance of the Nativity at the Roche home.
In addition to the Nativity the kids enjoyed playing a music game called Lego Rock Band with the cousins (Lucy, Lauren, Bradley and Anthony).
it was a merry and loving and spiritual Christmas Eve with your family and a blessing to share a few tender moments with our grandkids
