Christmas Morning

The girls' Christmas morning:

Macy got a new dresser for her dress-up clothes, a chair, Princess coloring book and Look and Find book:

Josh painted her dresser and I mod-podged pink damask scrapbook paper on the inside

Eden got a nap mat, chair, backpack, magna-doodle, and My First Crayola

Both of the girls got a set of Magna-Tiles to share

It took her a minute to find all her clothes...

Matching Outfits

The girls' new outfits from Nana and Papa...

Gentry Christmas

Christmas Eve night we got together with the Gentry's!

One of our favorite Christmas traditions is Papa reading the Christmas story to the grandkids.  Each year, as they've gotten older, they've been able to participate more.  This year, Nana assigned each of the older ones a verse that they were to memorize.  As Papa came to their verse, they would stand and say it.  They each did so good and it was neat to see how excited they were to be a part of the story telling.

Eden checking on Nathan

Macy saying her verse:

"So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, lying in a manger."

Then they each had a piece of the Little People nativity and each one added their piece as Papa recapped the story

All the kids had a new Toto in their stockings!

Eden started to get into this opening thing

We played a few rounds of Canasta and laid the 3 little ones down.  The other 7 did so well playing together with all their new toys.
