This Christmas we did the usual traditions with a few new ones. As we always do we celebrated with the Thompson family at our house on Christmas Eve. I decided to put a little program together for us all to enjoy and I had all the grand kids over the age of 2 perform a talent for us. Kaman sang his ABC's, well, we sang it for him, but he can say them by himself, I think he had a little stage fright. Kayla (Mindy & Trevor's 2 year old daughter) sang a song, Alex (Mindy and Trevor's son) sang a song as well, Ashley sang her school song, "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth", and then Danielle told some jokes and read a story for everyone. Then my mom read another story and we played the video presentations I have on my early posts. On Christmas day we wolk up around 8am, opened presents, then headed over to my parents house for breakfast. After opening the gifts we headed over to Duane's parents home to have lunch. The kids FINALLY were able to play with their new toys at around 7:30pm when we got home. They were all tuckered out, but we had a great Christmas and they loved everything they got.
Here are some pictures of our Christmas...

Looks like sooo much fun!! We missed seeing you guys on Christmas though!!
Cute pics! Looks like you had a great Christmas! And I love the idea of a talent show! We always had one of those when I was a kid, but we haven't done one for years.
