We hosted our sixth Christmas Eve party last night. We had 30 people crammed into our small and humble abode; but it was filled with love and nobody spent the night alone, which is really all that matters.
We had a fun photo booth this year. Berkeley makes quite a darling Santa, don't you agree?
The Gentry Family Christmas photo for 2012!
A fine looking crew.
Our Nativity Cast
It's never easy to pull off a show this big with 10 children, only one being older than 4 years. I think the kids did a terrific job however. Berkeley was the role of Wise Man this year, he graduated from the shepherd role he held last year. The play was complete with sheep, narrator and many a Christmas carol being sung by our unphoto'd Heavenly Choir.
Mary and Joseph were quite adorable this year. Mary did throw Baby Jesus down on the ground once and may have been strangling him a bit during the show, but for only being 3 she sat still for quite a long time before saying, "I'm done!" Joseph was a real trooper; accepted all of the gifts from the Wise Men with much poise. While he refused to hold baby Jesus (it is after all not really his biological child and he's still getting used to this whole idea of being the father to Jesus), who can blame him?
Christian always provides nice piano playing while we sing songs during the nativity and then more merriment afterward.
Merry Christmas from the Ladies
and the Gents!
It was quite a fun night and I hope good times were had by all. Christian had a good time, but still needed a little drink at the end of the night from all the excitement!
