Well the Sunday before Christmas, we spent the night with Jake's parents. They cooked a yummy ham for dinner and Trent & Shireece and kids were there too. It was fun. Jake's parents spoiled us and got Jake and I each a Kindle for Christmas which I had really been wanting. I have already read quite a few books on it already!!! Sammy received some pretty princess dresses for the princess Tangled and her really long hair. It looks really cute on her. Maddie received a fun block toy as well as them both receiving the Little People Nativity set which I really wanted for them. They played with it all week long, moving around baby Jesus so different people were watching Him be born.
On Christmas Eve, we went up to my parents house early in the afternoon. We had snacks, played games, and enjoyed the night. We read the passage from Luke while the kids acted it out. Unfortunately, Taylor wasn't there and so Scott had to fill in and be Joseph-what a good sport!!!
Sad that this is the best picture of Maddie!
I love how serious Sam was as the passage was being read.
Joseph and Mary (aka Scott and Sammy)We also had the regular gingerbread house contest. The teams consisted of me and Krissy, Scott and Jake, Emmy and Wes, and Mom and Dad. Sammy and Maddie were constantly switching teams and eating the candy although Sammy would keep asking during the contest "Who would like my help making their house" to which everyone demanded her!!
Jake was struggling a little with his frosting
Great grandma and grandpa were our judges. We all got nominated for different things so I am not quite sure who really won.
