Pre-Christmas

I know this is more than a month behind, but life gets busy!  So here is our Christmas update.

All dressed up for Christmas sunday.  Don't you love Ginny's faux fur?

After church, we went to my parents' house for dinner and to decorate our gingerbread houses with Aunt Allie.  Its now a tradition. 

Just a silly picture, but this is what happens when you leave Max alone with a barbie.  Oh, dear!

On Christmas Eve, my parents and Allie came down to our house for a movie, and our traditional stew dinner.  Then we read the Christmas story from the scriptures, sang some songs, and then opened one present.  Ginny was excited this year to open up presents.  She thought it was very amuzing that everyone was staring at her and giving their full attention. 

Luke was not happy about opening up Christmas Eve pajamas, so he is not in this picture.  Instead he was in his room throwing a huge tantrum, because he wanted to open up a real present, and not "stupid pajamas!"

Luke finally came to his senses once he saw that they were Angry Bird pajamas, and joined us for a lovely picture in front of our Christmas tree.

But this is how our family usually looks!
