Christmas Eve Party Continued. . . .

After the nativity we had a talent show. Here is my niece Brielle who entertained all of us so amazingly well.

Christmas Eve

We spent Christmas Eve with my side of the family which has been our tradition forever. The Taylor family usually does a big meal, some activities for the kids, and then the high light is the nativity that is acted out by the younger cousins. This year Braxton and Jennica were Mary and Joseph and I must say they were so cute. Of course I might be prejudiced. They took their roles so seriously.

Later in the evening things got really interesting. My husband, brother and brother-in-law really let their hair down and performed for us in the talent show. I got it all on my camera - can't wait to post it. But, for now here is the kids building their gingerbread houses and acting out the nativity.

Merry Christmas

We didn't make it to see Santa at the mall this year - but we did get to give him our list at the local grocery store. I guess that will have to do for this year.

Happy Birthday Baylee

Baylee turned 9 on the 22nd of December. We took her to Jump on it and she had a blast. We celebrated by buying a cake at Dipidee and opening presents. I can't believe how old she's getting. She actually wanted a few items of clothing for her birthday. That's new.

She still doesn't like to get her picture taken - but I bribe her so it works. . . .
