Christmas Pageant!

Sunday was the annual Christmas Pageant at church & this was the first year Julian & Zach had both been in it. Zach was baby Jesus & Julian was a piggy! =) The teachers asked Julian, "Would you like to be a cow? No. Would you like to be a sheep? No. A Wiseman, a Shepard? No & No. Well what would you like to be?" A Piggy. So a piggy he was & THE CUTEST Piggy I have ever seen! I mean he seriously was so adorable! I didn't get a picture up close of his costume, but you can see what I mean! Zach, of course just the happiest thing in the world & smiled & stuck his tongue out to everyone. He is just the happiest & most well behaved baby!

Not so crazy about this laying down bit!
Can't wait to see the church all decorated up for Christmas, it's always so wonderful to see after the church has been stripped & has bare walls.

 Cutest Jesus!

Such a good group of kids! Missing Jules tho...

Pouty Pig =( He really got shy about going up!

 

My God-sister, Kira!

...and, he got brave!

Oh Christmas Tree!

Julian & I did a mighty fine job! (Mostly Jules ) He wanted to keep ornaments together & that's what we did. A bunch of pairs & groups of matching ornaments decorate our tree. I love Christmas.

He pretty much ruled this tree =)

I love this kid

A mighty fine job!

Merry Christmas!

Christmas fun has begun!

This past weekend was a fun-filled start to the holiday. Aunt Vicki had a WONDERFUL candle party on Saturday. Check Elaine out, nothing better then partylite! Austen & I got 3 more Christmas gifts knocked out, so we are almost done! YAY!

Sunday Uncle Jeff had the entire family over to decorate his BEAUTIFUL Christmas tree & to celebrate Erica Leigh's 25th birthday! I can't believe my sissy is 25 now! It was a wonderful day & a great surprise when we all got there, our cousin Matt was there! He & his family moved to Utah a few years ago for a job opportunity & he is now back in AZ & his family will be back down here by June. Afterward, Austen & I headed home for a fun family night with Austen's mom & she brought home a bottle of, Wintertraum Christkindles Culhwein (a German wine you drink slightly warmed) It was SOOOOOOO good, an absolute new favorite!

Yesterday Erica came over to work on her resume & brought the boys along. Austen's mom always make Reindeer Food & was waiting for Jules to come over & help her make it. They had an absolute blast & it was so fun to see his excitement! I can't believe Christmas is in just 11 days!

Hearing the story-I LOVE his face!

Starting to make it

Adding the glitter so the Reindeer can see!
