Christmas Eve

The three troublemakers ready for Christmas Eve.

Seth spent a lot of time pestering people while we were there. Basically, if he wasn't watching a screen, he was pestering someone. Didn't really matter who, although Brianna seemed to a particular favorite. When his obnoxiousness got out of control, Uncle Stephen threatened to beat him. But then he realized that the answer is always...LOVE. LOTS OF LOVE: 

This generally stopped him for a few minutes. 

Opening Christmas Eve gifts (we loved our Moose jammies!): 

Aaron & Eowyn were the most adorable Mary & Joseph I've ever seen: 

Joseph may have left Mary & the donkey behind to find their own dang way to the stable, but it all worked out in the end.  

Ethan was a surprisingly cooperative Baby Jesus.

He very much enjoyed receiving all his gifts.

We ended the evening listening to Dad bear his testimony of the Savior and singing hymns around the tree. Then it was off to bed!
