Behind the Scenes

Here's what's happening


behind the scenes


while daddy gets ready for the Christmas story,


and reads the Christmas story.



While the Snow Fell


 Christmas night at our house, which is actually about a week to ten days before the real Christmas day, began with a short piano piece from Xandra,


a belly dance from Tikvah,


more belly dances from Tikvah,


followed by Jayhawk jammies


for the whole family,


made by mama,


worn while we opened other presents:









We wrapped up the evening with a group shot,


alligators included,


and hot cocoa


bundled in blankets


amidst the falling snow.
