Christmas!!

We had a great Christmas. My pictures loaded backwards but oh well. So I guess I will tell Christmas Backwards too:)



I have been wanting these dishes from Dillards call Twas the night before Christmas for 3 years now. They come out every year and sometimes add a new piece or two. So since I couldn't think of what to ask for for Chrismas I decided on these and I love them. Mom and Scott got me some and also bought me a couple serving dishes for my birthday but I got them on Christmas. Donny also bought me some so I got a pretty good start!




These are my favorite the bottom of the three is the first one then goes up from there. This is Italia seeing what Santa brought her for the first time.


This is all my dishes I got 9 total sets of Dinner dish, salad plate, and soup bowl, I also got three tea cups and saucers, a covered serving dish and a large serving plater. I also got a gravy boat and salt and pepper shakers
Christmas Eve Jammies. We all got into pjs and drove around looking at lights. We got to have Grandma and Grandpa Mitchell sleep over and be with us all day Christmas eve and Christmas
The candle light Bethlehem Dinner we had on Christmas Eve
Our Bethlehem food :) Food that Jesus might have ate. It wasn't 100% authentic but it gaves us a good idea. This is definatly a new tradition even if we can't have it on Christmas Eve we will have it sometime around Christmas.
We all dressed up and Grandma told us about all the characters in the Nativity and we talked about the true meaning. We had Mary (me) Joseph (Donny), Shepard (Grandpa) complete with a lamb. A wisegirl as Italia called her (grandma) and our Angel(Italia) we also had a horse playing the Donkey:)
