On Christmas Eve, we did some last minute shopping; the older girls played "Christmas In a Box," a version of Monopoly, and we went to church. Emmy played "Silent Night" on her cello, and Christie read "The Littlest Angel." After church, we headed home for a delicious supper (okay, prepared by Bob Evans), and the girls did their annual Christmas show-- including an encore performance by Emmy on her cello, a vocal duet by Chelsea and Britti, and an enactment of the Christmas story by the girls. (Ellie-Kate made a great baby Jesus!!) We then checked Santa's status on Norad, and the girls whipped up some birthday cupcakes for Jesus. We concluded the evening with the reading of some Christmas stories and then wrapping of just a few more presents. As she headed upstairs, Ellie-Kate had to have her panda wrapped up as baby Jesus too :) Merry Christmas, everyone!!
