First a sneek peek at our nativity
CHRISTMAS EVE
Christmas Eve at the Chinese Restuarant --
we've been doing this for YEARS!
The best part? No clean up!
Look at all that food!
Reading from Luke 2
Baby Jesus wouldn't sit still very well.
Notice the shepherd really IS "sore afraid." It was a little past her bedtime.
Baby Jesus was amazingly mobile for a newborn.
The angel of the Lord knew her part perfectly.
And there came wise men from the East.
CHRISTMAS MORNING
Santa came! With a rocking chair/trike for Harmony:
Legos and cars for Joey and Michael:
Littlest Pet Shop for Eliza:
I love that my kids get excited about EVERYTHING, even the marbles in their stockings:
Nearly 21 Weeks along -- more than halfway there!
BREAKFAST TIME!
Waiting patiently are Allison,
Joey,
Sarah,
and Michael (the others are there too).
Worth waiting for -- the easiest, yummiest rolls ever:
(My recipe is similar to this one)
Harmony LOVES them.
Then it was back to all the presents, to be opened one at a time and savored.
Merry Christmas!

Happy New Year!
Could you tell me what the dinner rolls are and butterscotch pudding. I live in the UK and would love to try it but I don't know if we have that over here!!!
I tried to leave this comment on your blog, but it didn't work.
You asked about the rolls. Rhodes rolls are pre-made rolls found in the freezer section here. Any pre-frozen rolls should work if they have them there.
The pudding comes in a box, like jello; it's also used as pie filling, like for butterscotch or chocolate pie.
If neither of those things will work, here are some recipes that will probably taste similar, with more from-scratch ingredients.
