Megan always does such a great job hosting. I want to be her someday.
She had costumes for all the kids to act out the nativity. Our sweet little shepherd/wise man. Dual parts.
Don't mind the silly bands. He has been wanting to wear Audrey's lately. It's not worth the fight to me.
Sweet little angel.
With a touch of spice.
All the angels.
Joshua and Seth decided they wanted to be front and center while we were trying to take pictures of all the girls.
The angels announcing Christ's birth.
After the nativity, Santa's bells could be heard outside. The kids loved it. I know it looks like Audrey is picking her nose, but she's not. She is saying, "Shhhhh" so she could hear the bells.
Pregnant buddies.
Examining our pictures. Not very pleased, to say the least. Oh well. I'm over it.
The ladies. Megan. Shaylin. Amy. Tori. Me. Mandy. (We missed you Genevieve)
Group shot. Shaylin & Luke. Tori & Mark. Dave & My Nasty Self. Mandy & Colby. Megan & Chris. Amy & Clay. (Missing Genevienve & Jeremy).
It was such a fun night.
After we got home we put out carrots for the reindeer and cupcakes for Santa (a new tradition, cupcakes instead of cookies), and put the kids to bed. They were so excited. I love Christmas with small kids. It makes everything so magical.
Last year Dave and I saved all the wrapping until Christmas Eve, thinking it would be so fun and Christmasy to do it all on one night. We were wrong. We were up so late. This year we were a little more on top of things and had 99% of the wrapping done. We were able to not feel so rushed and we really enjoyed being Santa's helpers.
I was going to check on the kids and I walked past our Christmas card wall and I got a little emotional (pregnancy hormones I'm sure). We have been so blessed to live in great places and meet really amazing people. One of my favorite things about Christmas is receiving Christmas cards in the mail.
We are truly blessed to have such great friends and family.
