Christmas Eve Night

Christmas Eve night is a special night. This year we re-enacted (thanks to Aunt Nat for organizing) the story of the birth of Christ. The five grandkids that were at Tutu's all participated.  Logan was a wise-man and Lincoln was a Shepherd and Joseph. It lasted all of about 5 minutes while Papa Tutu read the story from the scriptures and the kids acted out their parts. It was cute.

 After the play, all the grandkids opened a present which was a new pair of PJ's. Above is Logan's reaction...he was mad.  He really thought it was going to be a train that he's been really wanting so there was some severe dissappointment when it was just clothes. 

 Lincoln liked his PJ's and wore them to bed that night.

Christmas Eve was Elfie's last night with us before he went back to the North Pole. Lincoln wrote him a letter and shared a dollar and $.10 with him that he wanted Elfie to take with him...and he did!  I think the boys were actually concerned and sad to see him go.  They asked about him for several days after Christmas. I think they will be excited when he joins us again next year.
