Christmas Eve. All the Christensen siblings, except for Heidi and Steve, spent Christmas Eve together at my parents house. It was nice to be with family. Ethan was fussy and the kids refused to eat anything but candy, but it was a fun night. The kids played outside, we ate little appetizers and desserts, and had a live nativity. Santa Claus was planning to come visit the kids, but he ended up sick. So last minute we pulled shirts, belts, a blanket and rope out, and had our own little production. Brody and Sadie stared as Mary and Joseph. Hope was supposed to be an angel, but refused to be costumed. And Bryce and Avery were very cute shepard boys. Uncle Adam even agreed to be a donkey for Sadie to ride in on. I am glad Santa couldn't come, because it was even better to focus on our Savior's birth. We sang together and so enjoyed the sweet spirit that was felt as the children glowed. In a few years we should even have enough kids to have wise men, too.
It was a wonderful evening with my family. And not to be outdone by the donkey performance, Uncle Josh was a horse for all kids to ride to get out that last little bit of their energy. The pictures of it show him on the floor, but he was so fun for them. He was moving around so fast on his hands and knees with 4 kids on his back. Bryce couldn't stop laughing!
