Christmas Eve and Past

I just thought I would throw this picture in really quick. I needed to buy me some winter boots and the babies played with the box for over an hour.



We were able to go to Sammie's Christmas Showcase for her dance class. All she wanted was for her dad to be there. Matt arrived right on time and she kept looking over at him to make sure he was watching. It was pretty cute.



We really enjoyed our holidays with family and friends. Most of the holidays were spent with at least one person in our household sick at any given time. This had been going since my birthday in mid November and carried through to Christmas. Good Times.

I took Sammie and Eston to see Santa at our local grocery store while Matt stayed home with the SICK twins. I wish I had gotten the twins picture with Santa this year, but oh well, I can't win them all.



This is our Christmas Sunday picture. We happened to have everyone ready for Church at 8:40 in the morning. I was shocked. So we took a morning picture. Once again I was shocked, all the kids sat happily for a few shots.



Every year we get together with my mom's family and celebrate Christmas Eve together. We act out the nativity and read our YULE LOG resolutions. We started to get ready for the Nativity. I tried to dress Logan up as a Shepherd, but that only lasted for about 2 minutes. We turned him into a donkey (really a lion costume.)



The nativity last year consisted of 4 Mary's and 2 Josephs. This year we tried to even out the actors. Apparently we did a little two well. We ended up with 5 Angels, 0 Mary's (until we convinced one angel to convert over), 1 Joseph, 1 Cowboy (Wise man), 1 donkey (lion),1 sheep (bunny). It was quite the event.

This is my herd.



Here is our entire cast. It is always quite the comedy to watch these kids perform.



After we read our new resolutions and stuffed the YULE LOG, we headed home to open our Christmas Pajamas.

Grandma Brenda and Papa Dallas have been awesome to give us this fun tradition at our house. All the kids were really excited and headed off to bed, but not before leaving Santa his cookies and cheese.



We really enjoyed our time leading up to this day. Our kids get so giddy.
