Our Christmas in a Nutshell

We had a great Christmas. Everyone got things they like and we got to spend lots of time with loved ones. Here is a quick recap:


We all got new jammies. Claire got two pairs because she likes to poop. True to form she went through both pairs of new jammies in 12 hours.

The older girls each got a big present. Brynn got ballerina gear (leotard, slippers, leg-warmers, etc.). We also registered her for ballet lessons. She is super excited.

Syd got a remote control car. We spent much of Christmas day running over packages if socks and chasing the cat. Very fun.

We acted out the nativity. Syd was the angel singing great joy (Hallelujah!) I was a shepherd that was sore afraid. I am hiding behind my lamby.

Syd and Shawn built a awesome snowman in the fresh snow we got. Then Syd decided the snowman needed to be scaled. That's my girl. Notice that the snowMAN has a goatee courtesy of Shawn.

We hope all of you had a great Christmas Break!
