Analee next to the noble steeds that pulled us on the sleigh.
All of us (our family, Uncle T's family, Grandma, Grandpa and Aunt Jessica) on the sleigh with Brother Ford.
Winnie beckoning to the dog in the field while we ride.
The bridge Brother Ford uses to train his mules proved to be a fun family teeter totter.
And the dog got in on the fun.
Our family went on a walk partway through the day.
Miriam decked out in Christmas splendor.
Winnie running down the road.
Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa Scott's for schnitzel, carols, scripture reading and pajama receiving.
Miriam and Winnie helping cook the schnitzel. (They weren't allowed near the hot oil, though.)
Andrea wetting Ana's hair so I could braid it for her.
Rebekah goofing off with Winnie.
Seth strumming the guitar.
Signing and singing "Silent Night." (Later we sang it in German. There's no way we could sing it in German and sign in ASL at the same time.)
Lighting the German nativity. It was a little stuck and wouldn't spin, so Grandpa had to figure out what was going on.
Reading scriptures of the birth of Christ. Grandma, Easton, Winnie and Grandpa.
Analee opening her Christmas pajamas. This year it was decided that the grandkids would open them in alphabetical order. Analee suggested it.
Winnie opening her Harry Potter jammies. I asked her, "Are you Winnie or Gwendolen tonight?" She's no dummy; she answered, "Gwendolen!" so she could go sooner.
Miriam opening her Harry Potter nightshirt.
Rebekah opening her soft jammies. She patiently waited until the very end for her turn.
