Christmas in January

My camera is back! Here are some late pics of Christmas. Enjoy!
Garrett was Mary for our Nativity play at the nursing home. Yes, we have 6 boys in our preschool, so Garrett was a good sport and agreed to be Mary. He was a cute, manly Mary.

The residents at the nursing home were great! They really enjoyed our enthusiastic boys.
Ty's class Christmas party. I couldn't find a sitter for Garrett and Grant, so they went with me. Ty was so helpful and let Grant help decorate and then eat his cookie.
Leaving treats for Santa and the reindeer on Christmas Eve. (the ninja turtle is Garrett)
Christmas Eve (Grant was already asleep)
Christmas morning
is it possible to get a decent Christmas morning photo--not for us...
Sledding Christmas afternoon--Grant loved it!
Garrett & Shayla warming up after sledding
Ty loved his new sled!
It's hard to tell, but Uncle Brad is pulling the cousins behind his ATV.
Here they are hanging on for dear life. Talk about cousin-heaven--they had a blast!
Shayla lost her first tooth! Bit into a roll, and swallowed her tooth with it. She took it all in stride, though. She wrote a little note to the tooth fairy, and still got her 4 quarters :)
Hanging out with cousins--the definite highlight of Christmas break
Or maybe not...playing with Frodo was a close second for Grant

Looks like the kids had super fun over Christmas. Did the parents too? I want to hear about your race too! I think that is so awesome that you ran a marathon.

I'm glad you had such a fun holiday! Loved that story about Shayla's tooth, and Garrett being Mary. Cute family!

Also loved the story about Garrett's dream.

I understand you ran a marathon last weekend - is that right? Good for you!!
