Christmas Eve & Christmas Day

"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace."
Isaiah 9: 6-7 
Praise be to God.
With Christmas Eve being on Sunday this year, the schedule was a bit different.  Our typical 5:30 service, half of which is our pageant, was in the morning instead....and with the cutest Ella cow you ever did see!





The Snow Lay on the Ground --- Andrew and Margaret diligently rehearsed their first verse duet.  Unfortunately, since this was a new addition, the kids' stage presence was a bit unknown and no one told Margaret to go stand by Andrew.  So while she was singing, her back was to the congregation and no one heard her.  What they did hear though, was a very brave and beautiful solo by Andrew. 

With only one evening service at 9:00pm, we went to Church of our Savior Episcopal at 5:30.  So close, we still ended up in two cars, did not get our family shot taken before church, and half of us changed before the other half were home!  Oh, well. 


 

 The annual make-out session, which continues b/c the kids' reactions get more and more entertaining each year!





 Thanks to Emily being in town, we have family shots on Christmas for the first time!
 ...and milk in Waterford.
 Ready or not, here we come!

 Sweet Andrew will not go to his stocking until he has played "Joy to the World" on the piano...but we wait for the sing-along.

 Mrs. Moon's ornaments----where is Margaret's?
