Every other year, the Miller relatives host a Christmas gathering for the Clarence & Eva Miller children and their families. This year was my parents’ turn to host. The group has grown so large, that we decided to hold the gathering at the church hall. The gathering is usually held after Christmas Eve Mass, but this year Mass was at 9:30pm so the gathering was turned into a morning brunch.
My mom is a party planner extraordinaire, so the food and beverage spread was amazing. Entertainment included a nativity play by the Golden Acre grandkids and a closing song with all the children present. The morning concluded with a visit from St. Nicholas, who brought small gifts for all the children.
The sheep were all bribed with vanilla marshmallows to keep their hats and ‘socks’ on for the show. I’m not sure how many marshmallows were consumed by the 2yo’s.

Graham as St. Joseph and Miss M as Mary.
Zeke as the innkeeper informed the couple that ‘there is no room in the inn.”
“I love you baby Jesus”
Louis was a sheep and I’m pretty sure he had the loudest “Baaaa”, which ensured rounds of giggles and laughter from the audience.
Angelina was an angel.
The Miller Golden Acre grandkids – two shots to see everyone because sitting still wasn’t a priority!
