Christmas Eve:
Traditional - dinner at our house - fish, feta, olives, hummus, volkhorn bread, oj. Looked like rain so we moved to the verandah.
Petie brought her brand-new-picked-up-that-afternoon Audi TT - to a great deal of excited anticipation.
Dessert and Nativity reading at Becky & Trav's - present game too. Usually the nativity is acted out but this year we did a reading and had words to hymns (and reading) printed and a cd for music to sing along to. Very nice.
Late home - kids slept in girls room - even Alec. Max stayed up past midnight making up raucous songs about Santa Clause (who was getting desperate for Max to go to sleep.)
