Although we didn't have any Christmas visitors this year, we had a pleasant holiday season. Between a work holiday party, two school Christmas programs, and sharing meals with friends, we kept busy this December.
(Above) Traditional English Christmas items: mince pie and crackers (you pull the ends apart and the pop.)
The boys attend a public school that is sponsored by the Church of England so Jack and Lucas participated in their class Christmas programs.
(Above) Jack's Year 2 class singing during their Christmas program, held in our village Anglican church, a 900 year-old building.
(L) Lucas is the sheep on the far left. (R) Jack, on the far right, not singing while the rest of his class sings.
Each Christmas Eve, our village church holds a children's nativity program. We attended it in 2012 with Grandpa Bill and continued this Christmas Eve tradition this year.
(L) Jack and Lucas got to dress up as shepherds.

Noelle looks so grown up in her jeans and red Cornell sweater. Those boys are getting so big, too.
