Holiday season


We were able to go back down to have a special Nativity program with family. Those really are one of my favorite parts of the Christmas season. I got so involved I didn't get pictures. We went to Dad's and had awesome cider, hot chocolate and lots of goodies. The kids acted out the Nativity. It's amazing to see how much bigger our group gets each year. I think this year we had 3 different sets of innkeepers, a host of angels and lots of animals in the barn so all the kids could have a part. I was bummed about not having Josh there, but I am so grateful for the choices he's making to serve a mission. We got some shopping done, thanks to Kally's awesome store! and had a great time. Lia came home minus one front tooth and the other one left at a 45 degreee angle, thanks to a collision with Ashley's head! (who never even cried) It was even funnier because Jacob had been working on getting a tooth out and finally did, and not 2 min. later she comes up, blood all over, minus a tooth. Never did find the tooth, we figured she must have swallowed it. The next day when she used the restroom and I suggested she look around for the tooth, she made the best face! She was terrified I was serious! We shared some of Sean's families traditional Christmas cookies and made crepes for the family. We started a fun tradition of the sisters going shopping at night, we each had little things to finish before Christmas. We started at Kally's store and ended up at Wal Mart getting home after 1:00 am. It was fun to let loose and just be sisters, we definately have to do this again.
