We had a great Christmas this year! It just seems to get better and better every year. We started off the night before at our local neighborhood church for Christmas Eve Service. We enjoyed it last year singing all the Christmas songs in German. This year it was extra special because Addy had a part in the Nativity Play. She was an angel and had to say (in German) Glory to God in the highest, Peace and good will toward men. Her German and line was perfect and we were so proud of her! After the service we went home to enjoy a nice dinner with our friends Hillary and Stephen. The kids were able to open a few presents from each other and from mom & dad. While they were asleep we enjoyed some adult time and Christmas prep. On Christmas morning we spent the entire day in our pajamas enjoying our gifts! The kids had a blast and loved everything they received. Addy's favorite was her American Girl doll (Molly) and Luke has loved his new Train set and his Pirate Ship.
Luke couldn't resist the opportunity to join his sister on stage during the play:
