Christmas 2012 We had a wonderful Christmas holiday.
Annual gingerbread (ok, graham cracker) house making. Usually entails LOTS of frosting and LOTS of cand and not very much time. Oh well, we never were big artists around here. But it is fun and each year the kids ask to do it again.



Christmas eve dinner: Ham, potatoes and gravy (a meal is not complete without potatoes and gravy I'm told) corn, pomegranite salad (my personal favorite) acorn squash and homemade rolls. MMMMMMM MMMMMM!

Our interpreation of the Christmas story. Do you loves Mary's rainbow dress. Brenna was sure Mary wore something similar.

The cast

Mom: angel

Taylor and Spencer: Shepherds

Parker: Joseph

Trevor: Wiseman

Brenna: Mary

Stuffed sheep: sheep

Kyle: narrator (not pictured)

Stuffing our faces with Christmas goodies. That happened alot.


Long anticipated Chrismas morning.



The aftermath


Should we leave it here? It adds color don't you think?

I think baby Jesus must have been a preemee. So tiny! Hehehe. Love the pics. They look very similar to ours with the gingerbread houses etc. Come back and play with us!!!!!

I agree with Shannon, I was thinking either baby Jesus was super tiny or the manger was huge. Ah, I love it! And I'm glad you credited the stuffed sheep in the cast. Man I wish we lived closer!!
