Christmas Eve

Not only was it Christmas eve, but also Dad/Grandpa Bartholomew's birthday!

We had dinner and dessert a little later than usual since we had to pick Lois, Jeff, Stephanie, and Andy up from the airport. Ruth made a really yummy cake (even after its debut as a bonfire) and Mom did a great ham.

We acted out Luke 2 as usual with Ruth as the Angel (of course), Sheldon as King Herod (think what you will), Sam doubling as a donkey and a manger, Steph and Andy as the two wise men, and Lois, Jeff, and Reed as Mary, Joseph, and Baby Jesus, respectively. OH, and Dad as the narrator.

Here are a few pictures from the evening:


Yeah, there's 60 candals on there

It took a little while for the smoke to clear on this one


A few of the actors - as states above
