Well, I had intended this to be a Wordless Wednesday post, but it is neither wordless nor Wednesday (it's just past midnight!), so I will just call it our Christmas Wrap-up! Here are some scenes from our Christmas celebrations! We have been enjoying a lazy week post-Christmas...just enjoying our new toys & extra time at home with one another.
Candlelight Christmas Eve service at church...breath-taking!
Singing Silent Night, Holy Night with nearly 5,000 candles lighting the sanctuary!
For the second year in a row, Jack played the part of Joseph during the silent nativity
while the Christmas story was read from the Bible.
Singing Silent Night, Holy night...reflecting on God's amazing love!

She took her role very seriously & did a GREAT job!

Great pics! One question...do you always get all dressed up and pretty on Christmas morning? My pics all have me looking like death warmed over! Notice...no posts of early morning Christmas on my blog! :-) Ha ha!
Where did you get the mini trampoline? I have been looking for one for AGES!!!
What a fun Christmas! How special to have your children in the nativity. I loved when all 3 of my kids got to do that a few years ago. Wonderful memories!!! I pray you have a wonderful 2010. Blessings!!!

Love all the photos, but the ones of Sophie and Jack as Mary and Joseph have got to be my favorites. They are so sweet!
