Christmas Eve with the Cooks

Each year we spend Christmas Eve with the Cook Family. This year the party was at Ellie's cute cousin Summer's house. We had a talent show in which Ellie recited a poem she's been working on for a couple Christmases. She did awesome. She had pictures to hold up as she said her part. We also did a nativity where the kids dressed up as we read the story, but I really dropped the ball and forgot a costume for Ellie. Then all the kids opened presents. Ellie got a cute Barbie and horse that go with one of her favorite movies, "Barbie and the Diamond Castle." It was a fun party.

Here's Ellie while she said her poem, "If I Could Find Old Santa"

Here are John, David, and Ben in their matching Santa outfits.
