Christmas Eve

Christmas at the Christensen household is never anything but pure entertainment. This year was no exception and we were lucky enough to have everyone (minus my sis and her hubby..they joined us on Christmas though) here. We started with a yummy dinner, followed by a visit from Santa (aka Jordan..such a good sport) then we acted out the nativity of course and ended with our traditional rice almond pudding. 

Can someone please tell me why all my kids except Ellie are terrified of the man in the big, red suit. Sophie only agreed to sit if Nate sat with her..and she is usually the brave heart of the bunch


The 3 cousins of course..who all look like they could care less about ol' St. Nick..except for Luke who looks like he is being swallowed up by Santa's beard.



Sporting their ugly Christmas sweaters, Jaquel and Alexis are fans of the big guy!

The entire crew...looking at all the get-ups, you might wonder just what Nativity we are acting out. We have dinosaurs and ponies instead of sheep and cows. Graduates and spacemen for Wisemen, the angels and shepherds are legit and then we added a couple cowboys? But in the end, Baby Jesus (aka Luke) is born and angels proclaim his birth.

Angel Sophie and Angel Kate..two Angels with a head of misfit hair!
