Christmas Eve was spent at our church and the kids performed The Mouse's Tale in Slovene with all their sunday school friends. They were wonderful! Totally unbiased opinion from their mother of course! Before the program began each kid got to play a song of their own chosing on their instrument. The Jackson's loaned Kendra this music maker, a stringed instrument you plucked. She loved having a chance to play since she hasn't got to start playing piano like Blake and Becca. She stole the show playing "Still, Still, Still" It was funny because the other playing had been sort of like nice, christmasy background music. Which was our intention but Kendra's instrument was different and so I think eveyone thought things were getting started. As soon as she started plucking the place became silent. And if you know our little girl, she ate up the attention!
Afterwards we had our teammates, the pastor and his wife and some other missionary friends join us for food and singing and story telling. It was a wonderful night together.
This year our Christmas morning was spent with only the memebers of our immediate family! What a change! Every year we've been joined by special friends or family but this year it was just us. We took our time opening gifts. Stopped occasionally to enjoy a cinnamin roll (homemade.mmmmm!) and coffee or orange juice. Even Scout had his own stocking this year!
