Traditions, Traditions! (ie Christmas Day Activities)

Santa brought the boys ride-on-dump trucks! (An immediate hit.)
Christmas Eve, Dustinn and I blew up shiny balloons and packed them in a garbage bag. It was fun for us to pour the balloons out over their heads Christmas morning.
After opening Santa presents, everyone eats a big pancake breakfast. Cami found a penny in her pancake which meant she would be the Christmas elf and hand out the family gifts after breakfast.
Later that evening, we put on the nativity. Everyone participated. Elisse, as the bride-to-be, was Mary.

Merry Christmas everyone!

Yeah! Merry Christmas!!!

I love how little kids get excited about the simple things. Look how excited those boys are about balloons!!!

Thanks for the pictures Val :) I think Bradshaw rivals Genny for her sheep interpretation.

Oh, and we also had pancakes at the Barnards for Christmas breakfast!

I'm gonna dress him up like that just for fun. Did he have a tail?
(THIS IS PANCHO)

Polly-pie you make me laugh so hard (Pancho!) What would we do without your personality in our family? I love you!
No, he didn't have a tail but that would've been a really great idea.
