Christmas Eve 2010

The eve before the Eve, we had some special visitors. Owen and Elliot had their first sleepover with Grandma and Grandpa! We had lots of fun making and eating cookies, watching Shaun the Sheep videos, and playing computer games.

Owen has just developed a liking for writing- here he is creating a card for Mom and Dad.


Elliot is more into physical development - getting ready for his first marathon maybe?

The boys were wide awake at 5 this morning, and obviously so were we. After they went home, we took a short nap, and then headed off to church. We enjoyed a simple candlelight service with all the traditional carols, then headed off to Chris and Laura's for a Christmas Eve dinner with some other folks new to Prague. They are a family with two boys, one of whom is in Owen's class. They have moved here for a year for a sabbatical from Hartwick College in Oneonta, so we spent some time sharing CNY stories.

Christmas will soon be here, so Merry Christmas to all and to all a good night!!
