Okay, back to the blog.
We've had a few extremely busy-- but fun packed days.
Let me try to get caught up by starting with Christmas Eve.
One of my favorite traditions, is we all get together for a feast
of nothing but appetizers and desserts.
Since we always do a huge dinner on Christmas Day... we gotta do
something different and I love this!
We also, always have the kids act out the Christmas Pageant.
It always leans a little more toward the entertainment side than the spiritual side.
But what do you expect with Byron always, always acting as the donkey.
Notice I used the word donkey instead of that other word that probably
came to your mind-- naw, never!
Reese somehow beat out the competition to play Mary
and now that Kean has outgrown the Baby Jesus role, we used a doll.
Which was the smartest thing we could do-- since the boy
is not the most cooperative. He and Elly were supposed to be
the Shepherds...
Instead Kean muscled his way into the center of the Wisemen.
I think he liked their shiny baubles...
The children also always get new pajamas from Grammy and Grandpa.
We all decided Kean's made him look like he was wearing a
penal institution issued jumpsuit.
Of course, when he grabbed the lid to the Christmas Pageant costumes--
we thought the outfit was complete!
The best part of the night came when Grammy and Grandpa gave Kean
his gift from them.
The kids all went on a scavenger hunt that led them to the master bath--
where this was waiting!!!
I'm not sure who was more thrilled-- Keanut or all the cousins and his sisters!
I'd love to know what was going on in his mind.
He seemed in awe but also a little awe-struck.
He spent most of the night admiring the stickers, the hood and the wheels--
but wanted nothing to do with getting behind the wheel and going.
By summer, I'm guessing he'll be running down Reese on the lawn.
