After we finished with the gingerbread house and ate cereal for dinner (total veg-out day, remember?), we all settled down together to watch The Nativity Story. I wasn't sure how the kids would do with such a serious, grown-up kind of movie, but they did great! Even Jonah sat pretty still and watched most of it! (The popcorn helped!) G-Ma got there not long after we started the movie, so she got to watch most of it with us. I think this was a wonderful way to go into Christmas Eve & Christmas Day...with a very real, visual reminder of what we were really celebrating...the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!
Jonah didn't have a nap on this day, so he didn't make it through the whole movie! It was so sweet when he climbed up beside me and fell asleep!
