Christmas

So on Christmas Eve we went to Grandma and Grandpa Nye's house for our traditional Nativity party. While all the kids were downstairs playing and the grown-ups were in the kitchen talking I soon realized that there were little clinking noises over in the TV room and suddenly realized that there were bowls of M&Ms on the tables that I forgot to sit up. I told Curt to go get Austin and as soon as he walked around the table there was Austin with a mouthful of M&Ms and chocolate and "hard, candy shell" all over the carpet and his clothes. As soon as Austin saw Curt he spit them all out on the carpet which just added to the mess. Isn't he lovely?

I was in charge of the Nativity this year. I can't remember who everybody was (simply because I said, "Whatever you want to be you can be as long as there are no fights.") In our family Kaylee was Mary, Shelby was the Angel, Carson was a sheep, Austin was a camel and Curt and I were shepherds. Do we look like we stepped out of Bible times?

For Christmas the girls got some Heely's from Santa and Carson got Optimus Prime.

I got some work out stuff for my Wii Fit Plus that I got for my birthday.

Curt got a new watch.

The family got a tether ball pole and Kaylee was so excited because she has wanted one since the school year began.

Austin got a ball since his last ball, the one he got for his birthday got popped by his older brother.

After all the presents Grandma Moon came over and had breakfast with us. Then later on Grandma and Grandpa Nye came over, too. I forgot to take pictures of them with the kids but I promise they were here. It's always fun to have the grandparents over.
