Nathan brought home this big box from work and made it into a backdrop for a puppet show at his mother's house on Christmas Eve. Santa was asking Rudolph if people were on the naughty or nice list. If they were on the naughty list, they had to get up and perform the task asked of them. Some had to sing songs like Alvin and the chipmunks, others had to do a reindeer dance, act out a scene from the Grinch Stole Christmas or start a mambo line. If they did a good job they got a candy cane...if bad, they got a lump of coal.
The star performers and their puppets. Evan did a GREAT job!! He even helped make his sock puppet.
Evan was excited to start the gingerbread tree project at Grandma Lyn's.
Austin helping to decorate. He mostly just sat there and ate the candy.
The final product. I hope it doesn't fall over. Notice the presents actually made it ON the tree instead of under it.
Christmas eve was great as was Christmas day. We went to my parents house and the boys love their air hockey table and light sabers. Austin no longer has to use his turkey baster to fight Darth Vader.
All of us in our Sunday best.
Of course it was after church so the boys weren't all spruced up.
Just the boys. Aren't they handsome!
I had to throw in a few pictures of Lindsay in her Christmas dress.
We're excited for a new year and hope that 2009 proves to be a good one for all our family and friends!

Lindsay is so cute and chubby! I love chubby babies! How's the nursery calling going?? I got called to nursery when Ezra (my 3rd) was still too little to be in there and I seriously cried when they called me! I live in booney-ville and am with my kids and no one else all week. The last thing I wanted was to be in nursery! I ended up loving it though. Hang in there!!! You'll be awesome at it.
Cute pictures, and what a great idea with the gingerbread tree. That's way easier than the houses!
