Christmas Eve


John's darling niece, Malorie, had a bridal
shower with just the girls in the family. It
was so fun for them to be a part of the party.

Later that night all the grandkids acted out the nativity
while Grandpa Oldham read the story from the Bible.
Aubrey has been wanting to play Mary for years, so she
asked in advanced and secured the part early. Hailey got
to be Mary's sister, and I think there was also a
"wise woman" in our version of the Christmas story!

The biggest reason Aubrey wanted to be Mary, was so she
could hold baby Jesus, (played by the youngest cousin, Sean)
She LOVES babies!!

Next, the kids dressed up Grandpa in his Santa
suit and he passed out a few early Christmas gifts-Pajamas!
The kids love Grandpa Santa! He reallys hams it up too
and plays the part well.

Christmas Eve dance to the Nutcracker

This is a Christmas Eve tradition in the Oldham family for as

long as I have been a part of them, (so at least 14 years)

to do the dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy. Please excuse my

talking during the video- Lori was asking me about subbing

and I wasn't thinking that it would be so loud on the video!
