Christmas!!

We had a really great Christmas this year.  We did are usual Christmas Eve dinner at Grandma Andrus' home.  Later we had our Nativity, put on by all the cousins, and Santa stopped by to make sure we were being good:)

 (Alissa, Ashlyn, Megan, Aubrey)

I was in charge of these beautiful Angels this year.  Alissa decided she'd rather be a sheep though. . . . she wanted none of this girly stuff!  So, she was later replaced by Kelsey.  Drama in the Angel department :)

 Lilli wanted to only be Mary.  We have the kids draw from a bowl what part they will play.  I don't know how she pulled it off, but Lilli was our Mary.

 Cleopatra? In the Nativity? NO, this would be King Herod.

 Kailey played the part of an Inn Keeper this year. 

After the Innkeeper told Mary and Joseph there was "NO ROOM!" Doesn't she look like the meanest innkeeper ever!

After all the festivities at Grandma's we went home to prepare for Santa!  We always unwrap Christmas pajamas from Grandma Mickelsen and then get Santa's plate of cookies ready.

 On Your Mark, Get Set, Unwrap!!!!

 Thanks Grandma!!!!  They love them :)
