Christmas

We were able to host the Christmas festivities at our house this year. We had Jeff's parents, my parents, and my sisters Stefanie and Cindy and their families. So it made for a big crowd of 8 kids opening presents on Christmas morning.

We used this little wooden rocker from Jeff's childhood to capture the first pictures of Carson in front of the Christmas tree. He definitely felt like the center of attention during this photo shoot!

On Christmas eve the grand kids acted out the nativity scene. Carson was the star, George and Anna were Joseph and Mary, Kate was baby Jesus, Jack was the cutest donkey I've ever seen, Daniel was the shepherd, and Francis was the wise man.Carson discovering a truck in his stocking.Carson was taking a nap during all the present opening chaos so he opened his later on by himself. Obviously he didn't know what was going on.Cindy made these really cute ornaments for my mom out of blocks and put pictures of all the grandchildren on each one. My mom loved them and what a great and thoughtful gift she gave her. She also made me a Christmas count-down (wish I had a picture) out of four bigger size blocks.The view of the mess (after some clean-up) from above.
