Christmas Eve 2010

 
Clark was Joseph.  No contest.
Baby Emi (Brig's baby) was Baby Jesus.  No contest because George can't talk.
Cannon and Brigham were renegade, violent wisemen.  They weren't available for photos.
Elinor was Mary.  Bethany tried to contest the casting, but to no avail.   Just because she has been Mary since she was two, doesn't mean she gets to be Mary every year.  Sorry, sweetheart.
 Faith and Takara were both angels.  That is...
...that is, until the role of saloon girl opened up and then Takara jumped on that.  
That's okay, Jesus loves us all.
Bethany was a good sport and filled in as the innkeeper, shepherd, and wiseman.  I guess if you can't get the lead role, you should at least try to get as many roles as you can.
The reading of the Night Before Christmas-- a childhood favorite!  My parents were big into Christmas traditions and I appreciate that Abe has accepted many of them with our own family.
The kids all got new jammies from Grandma and Grandpa Cannon.   I love new jammies.  
Now here is something sweet--- Abe got me new PJs.  Wasn't that cute of him? 
 Okay, FREEZE!  
Stop growing, both of you!  I mean it!  I want you to stay exactly as you are.  If you don't stop growing RIGHT NOW, Santa will never bring you anything ever again!  
(The worst possible threat you can possibly make to a 2-year-old [or an 11-year-old!]).
