Lots of Holiday Pics

It's been awhile since I've posted anything, so I am just going to briefly throw everything out here. And let's be honest, you'd rather look at pictures than listen to me ramble anyways, right?

Evie on the "mall" Santa's lap. She was a little nervous at first, but so excited! I'm pretty sure that's a real beard he's sporting. He's probably set with a December job for the rest of his life.

Gingerbread Houses (Graham Cracker, that is--I'm no Martha Stewart). This was the better of the 2 that were constructed. I think Evie wanted to see how much candy she could fit on and around the house without the whole structure falling down. I thought she accomplished her goal!

This is the "play thing for dolls" Evie asked for in her letter. You can't see, but there's a little potty around the back, which is Evie's favorite part. There's fake toilet paper and a flusher, too. This has provided hours of fun! Now, if we could just find a place to store it???

Evie and Adam being Mary and Joseph. Acting out the Nativity on Christmas Eve is a long-time tradition at my house. My mom has had the same costumes since we were little and before the grandkids came along, we would still squeeze into them the best we could. Those were fun times, but we are glad there are little ones around now, who actually fit in the costumes.


Christmas Jammies all around!!! All the grandkids opened their PJ's on Christmas Eve, which has also been a tradition in my family for as long as I can remember. So here they are Tyler, Evie, Baby Braden, Bryson, and Adam. (Evie's a little out-numbered!)
