Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve!  The girls spent most of their day making doll houses out of empty cereal boxes.  Their creativity amazes me! 

Stairs and multiple levels even

Decorated walls and pictures

They loaded it with little doll food and beds and such and played for hours! 

 Then we had Christmas Eve dinner and in stead of doing the traditional Nativity, each one of them came up with something that told what the birth of Christ meant to them. 

Saileen created a visual and told about the nativity and how she felt about it

MyKenna made up her own word to the song "The First Noel" and sang it for us

MyLee drew a picture and bore her testimony

Kaliah sang "I am a Child of God"

MyKay sat quietly and watched it all like an angle!
Then Derek and I bore our testimonies and of course I bawled, so no picture needed!
It was a very tender time with the kids and the spirit was strong.
Then it was Jammie time!!!! 

All of the girls got leggings and a new t shirt and Mykay got Robot Jammies that he calls "boop boop beep beep" Derek got new basketball shorts and Derek got me Batman Jammmies!!!

"Always be yourself, unless you can be Batman....Always be Batman!!!"

Then the Tree was loaded with presents and not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse!
