Christmas Eve- Hanging Out With Cousins

We had such a wonderful Christmas.  This year was our first time hosting a sibling for Christmas.  Brad's sister Sabina and her darling family joined us.  We had so much fun, ate way too much food, and got too little sleep.  It couldn't have been better!  The Jacobs joined us for our traditional fish soup that evening.  Karl made a lovely salad and tart tatin and Mimi brought challah.  After dinner we read about the birth of Christ from the scriptures.  We feel so blessed and happy that we were able to celebrate this Christmas at home with family and friends.  

Papa and Lily cuddling and watching Elmo.  Lily was sick most of the time... poor baby!
Uncle Karl was trying to take a nap.

The kids had something else in mind.

A little bit of  screen time- computers, Nintendo DS, movies, PSP, etc.

And we read some books

The cousins had matching jammies for Christmas Eve- we spared 15 year old Elliot the pain.
