SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24, 2011 - CHRISTMAS EVE
Santa's helpers: Opa, Lincoln and McKayla
Oma, Lincoln and Bree
Ellie and Lincoln - Ellie promised me to teach Lincoln how to talk, because she is very good at it.
Christmas Eve program and cousin gift exchange - Hannah and McKayla sing "I'm gettin' nuthin for Christmas" Then we were supposed to have a dramatic interpretation of "Twas the Night Before Christmas," but Santa and the reindeer all escaped outside to play and in the end, only "Pa" and "Ma" were available while Oma read the poem.
Ellie watching Hallie open her cousin present. Gifts were opened in alphabetical order (almost - Zoe got to open hers when we got to "F" because her name is Zoe Fiona!)
Hannah showing off her socks from Emma.
Zoe coloring her present from Aspen.
And then we had visitors - Opa and Uncle Gord
Uncle Gord and Lincoln (wearing mittens because his little nails are sharp!)
Lincoln and Aunt Gaylynne
Bree and Oma-Great coloring, Lincoln and Aunt Gaylynne
Deven and Lincoln
The Nativity Story: McKayla (Mary) and Lincoln (Baby Jesus) and Uncle James (Shepherd?)
Carter (Joseph) and Ellie (Angel) - why would Joseph have a stuffed bear? I didn't get a picture of Mary riding the donkey (Bree), and I'm sad about that it was very funny to see McKayla trying to "ride" Bree without hurting her!
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 25, 2011 - MERRY CHRISTMAS
Christmas was a Sunday this year and we had early church so Santa left the stockings in the kitchen as fair game during breakfast. In order to give families more time to spend together, only Sacrament Meeting was held. It is wonderful to sing Christmas Hymns together on the Sabbath Day. The closing song was played on the organ and Oma had happy tears in her eyes!
Then a quick photo of the kids in their Sunday best. Lincoln, Carter, McKayla, Ellie and Bree.
And a Davis family photo: Ellie, Kim, McKayla, Bree, Deven and Carter
Oma and Lincoln
Lincoln in his Christmas Pajamas
Playing speed scrabble - how many points for "Lincoln"
10:30 p.m. Why are you awake Lincoln? To play with my Daddy of course!
MONDAY - DECEMBER 26, 2011
Bree, Lincoln and Carter playing on the couch - do you spot "Fluffy" next to the other arm of the couch? Bree spent a lot of time losing and looking for her Fluffy.
Deven and Oma babysat Lincoln so that Jessi and James could go to a movie date. Lincoln fell asleep standing on Oma's lap.
Nerf wars! Deven, McKayla and Carter each got a nerf dart gun for Christmas. This is Deven in a duel with Carter.
Trying on home-made hats. Aunt Jessi made hats for the Davis kids' this Christmas. (Just after this photo was taken, the kid tower collapsed and Ellie and Bree tangled up a bit. Ellie was slow to recover, but I think she'll enjoy having the purple sun hat in her dress-ups.)
