Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was another fun day. We went in the morning to show the kids my Mom's grave. What I really hadn't counted on was the 2 feet of snow on the ground in the cemetery. The weather was bitter and there was a very brisk wind blowing. So after plowing our way to the grave site, we dug snow off of the headstone and took a quick picture than plowed our way back to the car! We were freezing!!!!

Quick picture before leaving the cemetery.

Christmas Eve night, we did the traditional reading of
the Christmas story with the kids acting out the parts. It was lots of fun.
