The nativity

I came home from an errand to find a curtain pinned in the entry way of my front door. While I had been away Rich and the kids had decided to act out the nativity.

As you can see Roxanne was Mary and Roscoe was Joseph.

As you may have guessed there was no room for them in the inn

but after they found room in the stable the wisemen came bringing gifts for the new born baby

They did a fantastic job

A Visit from Grandma Debbie and Pappa Johnt

My parents got to come and visit to be here for Rogans blessing right before Christmas. As soon as they got here we went and picked out a tree and let them help the kids decorate the tree.

Roscoe is concentrating very hard

My mom made us these awesome Santa beanie hats. She made for the kids last year and the rest of us this year. Roscoe seems to really like his.

I love this kid.

On sunday morning we had a mini christmas morning with my parents. They opened the presents for and from them and had so much fun. Roscoe got so excited opening his Toy Story figures and Roxy got real sassy in her new tutu

She also got the whole set of all the princess dolls.

oh, heres Rogan in his precious little santa beanie. It took us a while to get this shot, so please enjoy it!

He is wearing a diaper underneath, I swear. Sunday night the kids just enjoyed playing with their grandparents. The closet was Never Never Land and Roxy was wendy and Dad was John and Roscoe was Michael.

I am not sure how Rogan feels about his new cookie monster toy.

Rogans Blessing Outfit

My Mom made Rogans blessing outfit. We did not get a picture that day, but took one later that week. It actually worked out pretty good because look at what a good mood e is in. She also makes them blankets to go with their outfits.

Thanksgiving

We stay home for thanksgiving every year. And it has started to be our tradition that the week of thanksgiving we think, Oh we should invite someone over. Just to realize it is too late to invite someone over since it is the week of thanksgiving and people already have plans. Oh well. This Thanksgiving we especially great for no reason at all. We did nothing. We watched the parade. We cooked dinner. We made hats that Richs Aunt Vicki sent the kids. We ate. I shopped. It was really great.

I do not think that I will ever get a great picture of all three. sigh...

At least Roscoe is a happy kid
