We did a nativity pagent one night with some family and friends. Here are all the cousins in their costumes. Cameron was Joseph, Olivia was Mary, Ian was a wiseman (bearing a lethal looking gift!) and Anna was the Angel.
My whole family (minus the two little boys) went to see Ballet West perform the Nutcracker. Anna is in ballet and tap this year and was really looking forward to seeing all the ballerinas. The performance was wonderful and the set scenery was fantastic. Afterwards we bought tickets to the party with some of the cast and the girls were able to get pictures taken with the sugar plum fairy and mouse king. (you can see my mom in the background there)
Here are all of the cousins posing with Santa Clause on Christmas Eve. Just for the record this is Cameron's third time on Santa's lap this year and every time he had smiled and posed nicely for the camera, however......on this occasion we had waited 2 hours in line to see Santa and when Cameron sat on his lap he started to cry!!! I couldn't believe it! I was so mad! So our photo didn't turn out too well.
This was taken on Christmas morning. At Anna's preschool she went "Christmas Shopping" and picked out a gift for each family member - then it was wrapped there and sent home as a surprise. So Christmas morning Justin opened his gift and it was this angel pin (meant for a girl to wear). I laughed so hard that I was crying, but reassured Anna that I was crying because it was the most beautiful pin I'd ever seen. She was so proud of herself and Justin wore it the whole day!
Here are Cameron and Ian (cousins) posing nicely for a picture. This is one of the few times that you'll see them nicely smiling and posing together - usually they're wrestling or running around together.
e were able to spend the Thanksgiving holiday with our friends from residency, Britt and
