This year, McKay's family wasn't able to be here because they were just out for a wedding. We had fun even though we missed them. My Uncle Reid came. That was fun to chat with him. He helped with the cooking, and like always..... is an amazing cook.
These two are not blood related, but I swear they are. You'd look at them and think cousins.
Little Thea was so cute and happy. She's becoming more and more happy to see extended family and it's so cute.
These guys played a new Brandon Sanderson game. It's from the new Skyward book series. You all have your ship and you're trying to make repairs on it. I kind of see it as a mash up between Pit and Old Maid.
All the kids just love Uncle Seth. He's the place to be.
I was in charge of the Nativity this year. Sam wanted to be the narrator. My Dad helped him know where to read and Sam read very loud and clearly.
I asked Emma and Lance to be Mary and Joseph so that Thea would be a happy baby Jesus. Ada asked to be ALL the animals. She was the donkey, camel, sheep, etc.... Funny girl. I love her.
Sharon was the shepherds because we ran out of kids. She was very game and kept petting Ada's head and quoting from Zootopia that she was very soft.
Evelyn LOVES being the Angel. She loves mouthing the part of Fear Not and is very expressive. I could completely see her being part of the concourses of angels praising God and bringing tidings of great Joy. There's a reason that I felt that she needed to be named Joy.
Sharon leaned down to give Vivien a big kiss. She had the cutest smile on her face, but I got the picture just a second too late.
Seth refused to dress up, but he loved the idea of being a wiseman. I asked him what part he wanted to play and he very excitedly told me about the star and the Wisemen bringing gifts to Jesus.
Seth and his camel. Jer said that he'd be a wiseman with Seth. Cute Daddy.
Cute crew is all growing up. They'll be adults before we know it.
Vivien got a tea set for Christmas. Evelyn taught her how to have a tea party and Grandpa joined in. It reminds me of when I was a little girl and he let me style his hair and lay all over his back.
Sharon made cupcakes and let the kids decorate their own cupcake trees. I brought Aubrey's Christmas song game (where you try to guess the name of the song) and Ggma Robertson's "Night Before Christmas" noun replacement game. It was so cute and Lance especially loved it. He was giggling all over the floor. Ada filled out half of the words with the word 'Hamburger'. She thought that was really funny and Jer refused to use most of them when he drew them out of the box.
Sharon and my Mom made some minute to win it games. The kids had a lot of fun. I love games with the kids!
She was the last to finish this game, but the only one not to cheat in any way. Cutie patootie.
These were from a ring toss game.

Jer made us into a puzzle. It took us two days to put this together because of the background, but I love this picture.

Sharon sent me these two pictures. Everyone was tired and we chilled and watched Christmas movies for a while before heading home.
