Christmas Adam

This is our year to be with Matt's family on Christmas and their tradition is to get together on the night before Christmas Eve (or Christmas Adam, if you will. Will you? ha. Matt says this and makes me laugh. Okay, back to the story.) We arrived to find all our cousins in mustaches. I still haven't figured out why this was, but the kids loved wearing fake mustaches all night. Moving on...

We had some good hot dogs for dinner and Matt's mom gave each of us an ornament. The kids loved taking turns watching each person open one. Then with Sophie as the very capable director (with a bunch of crazy little ones to manage!), the adults were treated to the cousin rendition of the Christmas Story. I got it on video and will post the links when they finish uploading. It was so funny. I think my favorite part was Joseph's incredible excitement over...Jesus's birth, you guess? Nope. The gold that the wiseman dumped on him for the baby. So funny.

We also had smores and hot chocolate and ended the night sitting around talking and receiving another Nanny gift: scarves. Joshua requested a white twirly scarf and he LOVES it. He checked his reflection several times before going out to play today and asked me if he looked good:)

Thanks, Nanny and Pa, for a fun evening!
