Christmas Eve 2013

Christmas Eve was a lovely day spent at home with our usual traditions. 

We made place mats for our Christmas breakfast.  I think they get better each year.

David made his fourth batch of fudge for the season.  Other treats that we made during the season were turtles, peppermint bars, and peanut brittle.  Grandma also brought divinity, gumdrop bread, and sugar cookies.



We had our traditional evening program acting out the nativity, reading stories, and singing lots of carols.  Kate and William were a lovely Mary and Joseph. 
 Sarah, as shepherd, diligently watched her sheep. 
Grandma knew her part as the angel by heart and proclaimed it from the rooftops (or at least the balcony!)
 Rachel was the solemn and serious wise man. 
 We stayed up too late singing carols and enjoying the magic of Christmas.  Merry Christmas!
