Our Family Nativity

One of my favorite parts of Christmas is our Nativity. It is always crazy...but always fun! The kids are great sports and they totally crack me up. It is a bit of chaos but so fun!

Waiting to go on!

Mary and Joseph

Our very own Donkey

Inching further down the stairs....

Mary and Joseph arrive in Bethlehem

Oh... there is the Donkey too! Brigham ran right in and got up on the hearth!

Here is our sheep...and some angels and shepherds...and our beautiful Baby Jesus in his manger!
This was Max's first year and he was a champ sitting in that manger! He was so patient and did a great job! I especially love his little shirt..."Mom's little Rocker"... Love that baby boy!

Joseph and Mary with baby Jesus

All the crew...Wise Men (guys) arriving

It's darn near impossible to get them all to look at the camera at the same time!

But we keep trying....

and trying....

and trying!

This is the best one I think...

The cutest sheep and donkey anywhere!

and one more! Love these kids! They are so precious to me!

Family Christmas Party - 1st Part!

Becca and Levi in their Ugly Sweaters...or capes as the case may be! Brilliant I thought!

Lizzy in hers... everyone else chickened out!

Getting dinner!

My beautiful grandkids!

Our tree!

When they are all home... here it is! Love it!

This year we decided to put some Blessing Bag's together for anyone in our community that might need one. The kids had a ball filling them! When we are out and see a homeless person or someone that might be blessed by these bags...we will have them ready to go!

Tooth brushes and kleenex...food and lots of goodies!

Everyone filling their bags!

Sadie and Trey with their bags.

I love this picture of Taylor and Mckay! They are really truly best buds! Love you guys!

My Favorite Things!

Once again it was time for our "Favorite Things" Party! We look forward to it all year!

Taylor and Amy

Becca and Jenny

Angie me and Lizzy

I gave Taylor the choice "Be old...or Little" because I brought 2 gifts... one like the big girls:) She chose Both! I love that girl! She is just an angel! So she got a Build a Bear and a plaque!

Becca with her plaque! I love the saying and I am using it for my Motto this year! "Come What May and Love It!"

Angie gave us Glitter Toes! Her friend created a company that does the Glitter toes...without using lights and all the extra equipment! It is really amazing! Thanks Angie!

Jenny gave everyone FHE lessons on Video! Adorable!

Amy gave us a darling "sister's necklace"! Love it!

Lizzy brought everyone spices from Grenada.. ."The Isle of Spice-Where Everything is so Nice!"
She is explaining the nutmeg!

Taylor and Lizzy! My youngest daughter and oldest granddaughter!

My beautiful girls!

My goofy girls...mugging for the camera! Love these ladies!

Build A Bear with Millie and Macie

Millie turned 3! What a fun day we had! We met at the Mall and got busy! The girls had a pajama party at their school..so they came in their pj's!

Daddy with Miss Millie Anne!

She found a Hello Kitty and she was thrilled!

Here she is getting it stuffed. As you can see Miss Macie picked out a purple bear too!

My cute little girls.

On our way to go have some dinner.

Away they go!

Christmas Programs!

Lot's of Christmas Programs! We were able to go to Macie and Millie's and Audrey and Abby's this year! Unfortunately I filmed Macie dancing and my camera went dead! I Phone's are great...but the camera..not so great! Oh well!

Millie decided it was a bit scary to dance! She just sat with us and cheered for Macie!

Macie with her certificate!

Grandpa with Millie

Sadie came to support the girls!

With their certificates! They love to dance!
Then we were off to Audrey's...with the camera all charged!
