The Porter children acted out the story of Christ's birth on Christmas Eve 2010, with Joseph playing Joseph, Bailey as Mary, Aubrey as the angel, and Brandon as the shepherd (his last appearance in this role for a few years). Below, Aubrey as an angel, sharing glad tidings of great joy and Brandon demonstrating his "fearful shepherd" look, and then all the actors in the play trying out "fearful."
After we read and acted out the Christmas story, the kids opened their sibling gifts. They did a great job shopping for gifts for each other.
Finally, we opened our Christmas Eve pjs and book - this year the books were the third in the Auntie Claus series and
Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus.
A Porter family tradition . . . a big sleepover in the bonus room on Christmas Eve. This was the first year that Joseph was able to fully participate, and he was SO excited. We dragged in a few mattresses and the girls slept on the couch. The idea is to stay up as long as possible watching Christmas movies, but at 11:30 p.m. I peeked in and only Brandon was awake, watching "Miracle on 49th Street."
