We got to play tennis...

Christmas Nativity

Back to Christmas...
On Christmas Eve we read and acted out the story of Christ's birth.

Mary with the baby Jesus in her tummy...

And the other Mary...

The Marys ride the donkey to Jerusalem....

The Baby Jesus is born in a manger and shared between the Marys....



The wise men bring gifts and see the baby....


The angel and narrator and shepherd/donkey man in the corner...

Other cute shots....

Mt. Hood and Lake Trillium

For President's Day we went to Lake Trillium and played in the snow with the Crosbys. We were quite the group pulling all 5 kids in. Mike had 2 big girls in the chariot on skis Craig and I traded with pulling a big girl on the tube or having Parker in a backpack and Jen had Lani in the front carrier. It was a beautiful day! We made snow angels, a snowman, ate tons of snow and only 1 person fell in the not so frozen lake. Parker and Emily slept on the way in and Kylie and Brinley slept on the way out. We stopped by my parent's house in Clackamas on the way home for a great dinner and donuts. Maybe next time we could get the kids to pull us. They definitely got the better end of the deal :)
