Christmas Eve 2009

As per tradition we had a family get together on Christmas Eve where we ate some yummy soups and other foods and then the kids did a Nativity reenactment.

Emily was one of the wisemen and Allie was a shepard (an unhappy shepard until it was over and then she was happy).

Joshua had the opportunity to be baby Jesus.

And what would a family gathering be without Bubba?

Tyler and his family backed Bubba up as he sang. Entertaining?? Well, I don't know any other word to adequately describe it.

After the performance Santa showed up, sang some songs with us and let each one of the kids come up and talk with him.

Later that night we went to visit with Great Grandma and Grandpa Conlin.

The kiddos all snuggled up with Great Grandma Conlin.

Emily and Great Grandpa Conlin enjoyed reading a few stories together.
