December in Pictures

Mostly pictures because I'm on Christmas break now and thoroughly enjoying some down time! December was a whirlwind on dance recitals, 3 piano recitals, concerts, parties, family activities, Taisha's birthday, shopping, cooking, eating, and all the other things that make December December! Christmas was a huge success except for the whole "Santa got McKay and Taisha a DS, but somehow forgot to get one for Anaya... and that was a big mistake.... especially because she seemed to be suffering from holiday bipolar syndrome (that's when you are super hyper/happy OR on the floor have a tantrum.... no in between) and had her heart set on a DS, blah blah blah..."

(Christmas dance recital)

(Taisha turned 11!)

(McKay as "Joseph")

(Joseph and Mary, and yes, I am aware that baby Jesus was a roll of paper towels with a face drawn on.... we kind of forgot about a baby, and had to improvise!)

(Angels-they were playing "rock, paper, scissors" through the nativity story!)

(Copper pipe chimes on Christmas Eve)

(The pinata was a pink flamingo!)

(Malia broke it open this year!)

Looks like you had a fun/successful December! We were sad we missed out on the Christmas Eve celebrations. It looks like you had lots of fun! And I love the paper towel baby, what a great idea!!!
Oh, my sister Katelyn is getting married in March or April so we're trying to get home for that. Hope to see you then. :)

Even with her new attitude, Anaya still looks cute in the pictures! Loved the pinata, what a shame to break it, it looked so cute! Glad you all had a great Christmas, thanks for lunch today, it was the best!
