Christmas Eve/Day 2008

My Mom and sister came for Christmas this year. On Christmas Eve we went to Concord UMC for a Christmas Eve service and Bridget played Mary in the manger scene. Xander was Joseph of course (they have both informed us that they will be getting married one day). Bridget wrote Santa a letter and left him cookies and a carrot for Rudolph. She was sad to see Conroy go - he was our Christmas Elf, but pleased to see that Santa visited and enjoyed his cookies and milk. (Every night Conroy went to see Santa and tell him about his day at our house and each morning he was sitting in a new spot.) Santa was good to the kids - how can he not be!! :) We had a nice relaxing day with a yummy ham/green bean/mashed potato/carrot meal.
Again everyone seemed to have a cold - so lots of tissues and coughing going on here. Other than Sarah we seem to all be getting better. (Sarah found out she has bronchitis, sinusitis and possibly pneumonia on Monday - ugh!! I hope she feels better before going back to school on Sunday).
Sarah stayed with us for New Year's Eve and Mom went to visit with Scott, Ashley and Caroline.
