We had a wonderful Christmas Eve 2007, and carried on the long tradition of reenacting the Nativity, even though we were short on actors, we made do. Dallas played both Joseph and the Shepherd, and Grandpa Craig even introduced his own character this year, the Grand Puhbah. We're not really sure how he fit in, but he read the story, and came with the Wise Men. We were glad to have him, and Hallie found a fun new word in PuhBah and added it into the story whenever she could. Hallie has been waiting all Christmas season to play the role of Mary, and liked it so much she announced she wants to be Mary for Halloween. Grandma took charge of the beautiful music, made even better with her brand new baby grand piano. Nancy, who you will not see in the pictures, filled her spot behind the camera trying to direct the action. Angela took her namesake and played the beautiful Angel in pink, while Travis, Austin and Brian played the wise men. I wish I could say that they gave a wonderful rendition of We Three Kings, but it was a little lacking, and needs some work before next year's production. I'm sure they will get right on that. Dinner was delicious, and Mom made a beautiful British Trifle, and her famous Christmas Breakfast Casserole for Christmas morning. If you want the recipe too bad, it's just a little of this and a little of that, and somehow it turns out amazing, same for the trifle.

Looks awesome! Wish we could be in two places at once. Love the Puhbah Turbanness. Very Eighites Bathrob meets Wise Man Chic. I am laughing right now that he wore that the whole time and that Hallie wants to be Mary for Halloween. That's precious. Sure love you guys!
Best wishes for 2008 to the Craig Clan. Thanks for my wonderful memories of a Christmas Eve years ago in AZ with all of you. My big sons got to don Burger King crowns and be wise men - a treasured memory.
