Christmas EVE

Christmas EVE day started with a hike at Estrella Mountain with Kim (a guide and about 12 other people.) It was a pretty hike with some good little uphills. Beautiful views. An awesome way to start the festivities!
Then there was a twin fight and we think Sydney shut the door in Courtneys face but it looks like her face got rubbed against the stucco!

Ouch!

Samantha was so excited to be Mary at church for 2 services. The whole service (except the sermon) was done by the elemantary kids.

lot's of singing involved in the service!

She did get a little bored at times and yawned a few times but she was still the a great Mary!

She loved holding baby Jesus!

The girls in their Christmas dresses!

me and my girls!

It isn't Christmas Eve without new Christmas jammies!

Jon once again made an exceptional meal! He found a recipe for Ivar's clam chowder, (mmmm so good) ceasar salad, shrimp stuffed mushrooms (Paula Deen's recipe) and tasty crusty bread!
