Christmas with the Family

Since this was an away Christmas for our children, we decided to have our christmas party last Sunday. Boy, did we have fun!! First we had a wonderful dinner, followed by a Christmas program, then the presents and finally the chocolate fountain (which BTW didn't work, but we dipped anyway). Here are some pictures. Sorry, but they are a little mixed up. Here is Allie (Mary) riding her donkey (Brett):

This is Clay before he got into his shepherds outfit. Landon, Emmie, Allie, Logan and Dax.

Here is Clay not too happy about being a shepherd.

These are our little angels--Lexie and Kate

Dax is a wiseman with the gold, Allie as Mary, Landon as Joseph, Emmie as an Angel with the star that she made herself. A little sideline here. As Kim, Amie, Adrien and Lacee were reading from Luke, when it said, "and she laid him in a manger", we realized we forgot the most important person which was the baby Jesus. Nick said, "we lost the baby Jesus, where is the baby Jesus?" While I was running to the toy closet for a baby, our little Kate (2 years old) who was running and skipping around the living room went over to our little Fisher-Price nativity set, picked up the baby Jesus and handed it to Allie (who was the mother Mary). Who said little ones don't pay attention!! Melted everybody's heart.

Here are the wisemen riding on the camels (Jarom, Brion and Scott) Logan and Dax. Easton was the other wiseman somewhere :)

Opening presents. Kim, Amie and kids

We had a wonderful Christmas party. Poor Brett has to put up with Nick and I all by himself this year. Actually, I think he is quiet excited about it! Here's wishing all a very Merry and safe Christmas!
