No, I don't have the title of this post "backwards", but due to the arrival times of family, we pushed back some of our traditional celebrations so that the 25th was treated like the 24th.
After church and dinner, Aunt Rebecca supervised Ellie and Reni in the decoration of cookies -- which they both loved, as you can imagine!

| Wait -- we're supposed to save these for OTHERS? |
Later that evening after Stephen and Rachel's crew arrived, we had family devotions and opened stockings. Nathan gave a devotion on finding room for Jesus. Because every story is more interesting with drama, Ellie and Reni played the parts of Mary and Joseph (with big-cousin Caleb's assistance as the donkey). They went from couch to chair to couch asking if there was room (and were of course, told 'no').

| Love Nathan's expression here. ;-) |
 |
| Nonna's caught off guard by the intensity of Ellie's "thank you" hug. In typical Ellie fashion, she discovered that this garnered her some extra attention and decided to go around and give others her 'worst hug ever' hugs. |
 |
| Ellie is great at showing love. |
