On Christmas Eve we went to Mom & Dad Leman's for lunch. It was such a GOOD lunch. We each brought a Chinese dish, which included several stir frys, crab ragoons, egg rolls, fried rice, all the works.
Like most Christmases, the day was full of eating, talking, games, and gifts. One thing that was different is we reenacted the Christmas story. Grandma Knapp had all the costumes(which is a lot) that she made for her grandkids to do this same thing every Christmas.
I had Shiloh's name for Christmas...I gave him a little piggy bank. He loved it so much he sleeps with it quite often. :)
Here is the Nativity scene. We actually have a Mary & a Joseph, along with a baby! :)
Fred & Jodi's family. Such a darling picture. Letty truly is a little angel!
Robert & Mary's family
Daniel & I in our costumes. I think we mostly dressed up for the pictures. ;)
Grandpa was reading to the boys. This picture is SO typical!
Me & Elisabeth. I am so blessed with such a wonderful sister-in-law! Can't wait for her to get married so we can do things together as couples! :)
All the brothers except for Timothy
Elisabeth & sweet little Asher
Eating the great Chinese food!
Jodi crocheted all the boys slippers for Christmas presents. I'm pretty sure they all loved them!
It was of course a wonderful Christmas Eve. So fun to be in a new family and learn their traditions. Makes me excited to make OUR very own traditions when we have a family!
