Each year we go to my parents house with both of my brothers families and we do an early Christmas. Grandma and Grandpa give each of the kiddos Christmas jammies and we fill stockings for each other. Of course we pass on my parents tradition of torturing them at the top of the stairs before they can come down.
It was fun to have it rain. It was a bummer as far as looking at lights is concerned because my parents neighborhood goes crazy at Christmastime.
The rain didn't stop the boys from playing some wiffle ball!
This makes John look like he pitches super fast...not to say that he doesn't!It also didn't keep the kiddos from swimming in the Hot tub. Actually, it didn't stop Ashlynn and Caleb from going in the cold big pool either!
That night the kids dressed up to act out the Nativity.
Davis would have nothing to do with it!

But check out my little Wise man.
This next picture is awesome because when my Mom read "Mary brought forth her firstborn son" Ashlynn just let go of the doll in her gown and Baby Jesus went crashing to the ground.
Most of all I'm glad my kids get the chance to be with their cousins.
They LOVE their cousins and I'm so glad that they are all so close.

Okay, I have tears. I know that is nothing new to you....me crying but seriously I have tears.
Seeing all of the cousins....your dad.....John (yes, he does have a fast pitch:) made me tear up.

by the way, that is weird that your boys all got sick and were throwing up at the end of vacation because i got a stomach flu the day we got home too. i even threw up and i haven't done that since i was 14. i wonder what that was all about.
Lisa, seriously, do a book with these blogs in it for 2009 and I will pay for it. You are such an excellent writer and organizer, what a talent! I seriously have had my dreams come true, my kids and grandkids all love each other and want to be together! I am blessed!
Looks like a blast! The kids nativity outfits are awesome!
Great pictures of our weekend. The nativity tradition is only going to get better as the kids age. I think Ashlynn will have the Mary part cornered for several years.
I just check your blog and there is like 10 posts to read... which is so fun! You take amazing pictures and I love your commentary. Hope you had a wonderful chrsitmas!
