Christmas

We ran at 8:00 am Christmas morning! You don't have to tell me that this is crazy....I know....I know! We ran with Nick's track training group. It was something very new for us to do on Cmas morning. I think it was fun to do...still trying to decide that one.
Waiting to run down the stairs Christmas morning.
As tradition requires...the kids all sleep in one of their rooms Cmas Eve night. When they were young, they used to stay up all night and play games and wake up early and play some more....now they conk out and struggle to wake up....but at least they maintain a portion of the tradition.Christmas Eve....we act out the Nativity. It gets funnier and funnier every year. The kids really 'ham it up'....hopefully not sacrilegiously. Our baby Jesus is usually whatever cat we can catch...our Samuel the Lamanite (nate) is always shirtless...every year! I usually narrate and the kids act out and we always hope to have Steve participation....but he fell asleep...tho, this was no hinderance to his participation....he was an innkeeper who had no room and wicked King Herrod...we just plunked a crown on his sleepy head and Tada! (how do you spell that?)
