December 2011 Wrap up

The Sunday before Christmas we gathered at my brother's house and had a traditional mexican dinner a game and a nativity. Nathan was Joseph again, Taylor was a shepherd, Natalie the lone angel and Amanda Baby Jesus.



It proved to be quite an undertaking to get a picture of the whole nativity cast actually looking at the camera. This is the best I could get.


I caught Preston and Amanda napping the afternoon of Christmas Eve. After waking up Preston stated that was an early Christmas present for him. He LOVES napping with babies laying on his chest.

Christmas Eve the kids always get new pajamas. They are waiting to open their presents here.

Nathan came home from church and put his pajamas back on and spent most of the day playing with his transformers.



Taylor didn't bother taking the time to change her clothes after church and spent the majority of her day playing in her new kitchen.


Natalie received a Dora guitar that she was excited about.Natalie also didn't take the time to change clothes. This is the before picture.


After playing for a while.

Preston's hit the after Christmas clearance sales and picked up this decoration. He took it out to test if it worked because the box had been opened and discovered that it worked but it had been used. It was pretty dirty so he hosed it off and put it on top of the pool net to dry. Preston's comment "We may not have a chimney for Santa to come down but we do have a pool for him to land on." :-)
