Christmas Eve ’19

We spent Christmas eve at Cara’s house. The children ran and played and we all ate. Lots.

Then it was time for the Christmas eve service. 8 played Joseph and The Goblin Child was one of the cows present in the stables. The Christmas story was told from the animals perspective and Joseph didn’t have anything to say.  Both children had fallen asleep in the car on the ride over and 8 woke up mad. He scowled his way through the program and not having a speaking part was a very good thing.

I used to love the candle light service and sneak in pictures of the children looking beautiful in  the soft light. Lately The Goblin Child refuses to be in  any pictures without her tongue stuck out. No  more beautiful pictures.
