So I think I had some small fingers fidgeting with the switches on my camera because I just noticed after I loaded these images that are really blurry that a couple of switches were not in my usual settings.
Note to self: put camera out of Merry's reach.
Christmas Eve we performed our annual nativity play. Jacob played Joseph. Merry played Mary. Grace was a sheep, angel, and wise man. Brian played the donkey, shepherd and wise man. I was the narrator and King Herod. 
A picture of Grace holding still, which doesn't happen often these days.
I do brush her hair sometimes.
Merry checking out the treat we were providing for Santa and company. You would think she was interested in the cookies, but she actually ate the carrots. Then we had to replenish the plate before the reindeer came.
Jacob's gourds he grew this year are in the background.
Christmas day our kids slept in late. Apparently fabric stores here do not see the need to stock Christmas flannel. Merry had to make do with lambs and Jacob with moose. The red blur is Grace in her Christmas PJ's from last year that finally fit.
Merry makes gift giving easy because she gets excited about everything. She got a jump rope in her stocking and she started jumping up and down screaming I got a jump rope, I always wanted a jump rope, now I have 3. She also took a victory lap around the living room every time she opened a gift.
Grace was excited about her new "mamie" (what she calls her baby dolls). She also got a little high chair to put her in. She was convinced that the high chair is big enough for her. She kept trying to sit in it and pull the lid down. After that didn't work she tried to climb through the top. Several topples later, she finally realized that her doll fit better.
Jacob was very excited about a bird identification book. I will have to brush up on my ornithology because he wants me to read it to him at night and tell him about all the birds. Brian and I also have sore thumbs from trying to help him conquer Mario Bros.
Kids make the holidays so much better.

I love...
1) that you have all matching paper for your gifts. it's all about the details... love it.
2) Merry doing victory laps around the room after each present! hA!
3) Gracie trying to sit in the baby's high chair (tillie got one too and has been doing the same thing, although, she keeps forgetting her bottom is MUCH too large for the thing).
4) that you are brushing up on your ornithology for Jacob's sake. I did take a bird watching class in college, so I may be able to help. oh wait, I forgot almost everything. sorry. :)
fun fun.
good work.
happy tuesday.
