We had more snow today so Sean had to spend some time shoveling outside:
Look at Santa's favorite elves:
We spent Christmas Eve at the Turner's, eating the most delicious food in the world and acting out the Nativity story. Here we are eating dinner:
Here's the "kid's table". Look how happy Mason is to be sitting down and eating:
If you know Mason at all, you know he LOVES his juice. A lot. So here he is with his 'juicy' while Sean is downing his favorite 'juicy' as well.
We tried acting out the Nativity Story. Mason refused to be Joseph. He insisted he was Sarah. Still no idea who this Sarah is, but Mason channels her sometimes and pretends he is her. So, we had Mary (Ella) Joseph/Sarah (Mason) some wise men, shephards, and an inn keeper. Guess who played the role of the innkeeper? For which of my children is it NOT hard to be rude and slam a door in someone's face? Yup, the pre-teen.
Here is our cast:
We exchanged presents with the Turner's. Ella LOVED her candy making jewelry set almost as much as Mason loved playing with it too.
And this is how we ended the night, with Colton handcuffed to the stairs with the new set of handcuffs I bought Aedan:
On Christmas morning, our children slept in!! They didn't wake up til after 8:00 am. WOW! Here are our blurry eyed children walking into our family room to check out what Santa left:
Polly Pockets and Princesses were high on Ella's list this year.
We were privileged to have Batman and Robin show up for a few minutes Christmas morning to share in our festivities:
Colton had only one big thing on his list, a Lego castle. His list slowly got longer over those last few months, but this was the one big ticket item he really was hoping to get.
Mason was happy to get a new Batman jacket and some fun Playmobil sets:
Jaxon already got his big Christmas present early, an Alienware computer. But you know me, I couldn't have him opening NOTHING on Christmas morning. So, he ended up with some history books, a computer game, and some board games.
