Christmas Celebrations 2012


  
This is what these two came up with to occupy themselves while waiting 
for us to position Kendall.
 Thankfully they switched over to some nice smiles for a group shot.

 The children's program at church.  Josie's group did "Away in a Manger" and "Oh, How I Love, Jesus."  Caleb's group did "Come on Ring Those Bells".  Unfortunately, Caleb was in the second row, pretty much directly behind a much taller kid, so no great pictures of his performance.

 Caleb and Josie were psyched for bowling with extended family.  I have a feeling the guy working the place was not so psyched to come over to our lane to retrieve a ball, fix the pin resetting machine, fix the bumpers...


 "Mr. Focused"
 Happy to be back home and in the jump-up for a while Monday morning.
Opening presents at home Monday morning.
 
 Josie got this enormous cardboard house that we've had hiding in the basement since Kyle got it after Christmas last year. 
Caleb was so excited to give the presents he got at school for each of us.  Check out how enthused he is for Josie to open this pink hamster toy...and she loves it!  
 
At Kyle's family celebration....we didn't get many great pictures.  Kendall wasn't incredibly happy the whole time, so one of us was tending to her.  Here are the 3 bigger girl cousins (of the 7 girls) showing off their new princess gear.

 Sweet little Dylan...
 ...and Peter.



Who looks more excited for those ballet slippers?
Once she figured out what they were, she was just as excited as he and wore them the rest of the night (and most of today).
  
If only he had a hat.


 
 The "V-side" cousins. 
L to R: Caleb, Josie, Kendall, Nathan, Aaron, Peter, Daniel, Dylan, Dawson, Jamie.
