Casting Call

We act out the Christmas story every Christmas Eve. This year we had fewer to participate but did it all the same. Joshua was Joseph, Lily was Mary, Kerrigan was an Angel and Ryan played the role of all sheperds. Penny played camel/goat/sheep. It was great in spite of a small domestic custody rights dispute between Josh and Lily. We eventually all busted up uncontrollably laughing in the end. Josh got custody, put the baby in the manger and promptly climbed in with him. Leigh Anne saved the evening by suggesting we watch a DVD version which helped to transition from laughter to feeling the spirit. We had great laughs and a great close to the night. Definitely a night to be remembered!

What's under the tree?

Who do YOU think wants this puppy the most?

Thumb's Up Santa!

Josh sat on Santa's lap tonight and when Santa gave him a goodie bag, Josh smiled and gave him a big thumbs up!

The Real Thing

Mom picked up these itty-bitty coke glasses and the kids LOVE them! Macaroni and cheese is SO much better when it comes next to a package like this.

Snack Time

This is how it's properly done.

Cocoa-Latte!

Ah...how sweet it is! Tammy and Clint introduced us to this fine little appliance and we've been using it daily ever since. Hot cocoa has seriously become popular here!

How's YOUR mood today?

Kerrigan was in a mood. I came in and she was all mood. I walked back in with a camera. Funny how a camera can change everything. In the end we had a good little talk...and some fun.
