Christmas Eve

We are back! We had a really fun time in California for Christmas with my family. We drove down Christmas Eve and got there just in time to go to a cousin's house for a party. We had great food and even greater dessert and of course acted out the nativity.

Here are Ella and Kash and their cute cousins:

Ella was Mary and she was so sweet! She seemed to have known how important her part was because she was very serious the whole time.

She loved holding baby Jesus and cradled him and kept giving him kisses.

Kash was Joseph and wanted no part with his towel! As soon as we would put it on him he would throw it right off.

These cousins of ours are used to performing and they sang us some Christmas carols. Lexie, Elle, Mia, and Paris. (Ella was in charge of the bells)

Andrea had some extra help with the piano from Kash.

Here are the girls performing one of their dance numbers, Ella thought she fit right in.

We are short one sister! Mandy's flight was delayed so she didn't get in until later that night. At least she made it home for Christmas.

Here are most of the kids, I didn't get a picture with everyone.
