Christmas 2010 part 1

The girls in their new Christmas Eve pajamas.

Acting out the nativity. Melissa doubled as the star and the angel. This is her as the star. She makes me laugh!!
Jason worked on Christmas day, so we just had a movie marathon/manicure day, then celebrated Christmas day on the 26th, after 3 hours of church! My girls are champions with their ability to be patient.

Christmas isn't Christmas without some good food! Here's the traditional Danish pastry wreath we have every Christmas morning.

I made the girls this monkey bread on the morning of the 25th. Yum.
And here they are all dressed for church.

It's gingerbread house time again! Emily thoroughly enjoyed the candy.

Rachel and Sara hard at work. Sara had to have her water bottle on hand to wash down the sugar.

Ashley and Melissa not wanting a picture taken.

The completed village. From Left to right, Ashley's, Dad's, Melissa's, Rachel's, Sara's, and mine. Sara's roof says "Rachel is my friend". What a fun tradition!

O Christmas Tree

We spent our Thanksgiving in North Carolina with our good friends, the Jorgensens. Sadly, the only picture I took was of Jason taking the kids for a ride in the tractor mower. Perfect weather! No coats needed!

This is the tree we got this year. It's easily 10 feet tall. We went with a Douglas fir this year because the Frasiers were very sad looking. I love Christmas time! So does Sara, apparently. What a goof.
