Christmas Eve--Shepherd's Dinner

Every year on Christmas Eve we have a "Shepherd's Dinner."  We light candles, eat on the floor, and watch "The Nativity."  It is always a very special experience and one of our favorite Christmas traditions as a family!

This year I cooked a traditional Israeli meal.  Recipes are on my food blog HERE.

Best Nativity

I had to giggle when I walked past our nativity and saw that Isabel had added one of her Littlest Pet Shops to it.

I'm sure there must have been a cat there somewhere that blessed night!

Cute Isabel.

Merry Christmas from all of us!

Well, I have again failed another year at mailing out Christmas cards.  I seem to be able to manage this one about every other year.

Alas, most of my friends do read my blog, so I'll have to just post it here and call it good.

Even though I'm a failure at mailing, we do love and cherish all of you as friends and family, and wish you a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!
