scenes from Christmas

So, how was it?
Your holiday?
Merry & Bright, I hope!

I love how Santa brings
little wax paper candy packages!

What is Brian so thrilled about?
Bugg got new arm braces from Grandma!

A Happy Birthday cake for Jesus

And here is what it's really about:
the Savior's birth.
This year, Mia got to be Mary & Bugg was Joseph.
Wyatt was so thoughtful & reverent during the nativity play
that all the grandkids did.
Grandpa read from Luke 2 & we sang carols.
Bugg just sat sweetly and listened.
It was so so precious.

The day after Christmas always needs
some type of shabang to come off the holiday high, right?
We wanted to go sledding but there has been minimal snow!
So strange.

We drove up to the canyon a bit
and found enough snow to make do.

Mia, Ella, & Mia's friend

choco-covered Oreos from my sis,
Kylee!

The Tumbleform chair works
terrifically in the snow!

And the day after the day after Christmas?
A desperate trip to Sam's Club for diapers.
Ella was actually wearing a swim diaper here.
Since my pregnant self shouldn't be doing any lifting,
I try to bring the stroller for Wyatt when we go out.
Alas, I forgot it.
But Mia spotted the Tumbleform still in the van.
Totally works, no?

Genius, really.
I remember those awkward days of shopping with a growing baby Bugg.
I would try and sit him in the front of the cart
all propped up with blankets.
But then he got so long & tall.
So I tried sitting him in a Bumbo chair in the back of the cart.
But he wasn't strong enough to sit in it with such limited support.
Brother!
This would have been a good option.
Except where would all the groceries go?
But we were just here for diapers, whew.

And Veggie chips & new sheets!

not a lipstick mark, just chapped cheek skin

So you noticed his missing glasses?

Mia brought these 2 pieces to me
on Christmas Eve.
Rats!!!!

Buggy has a loaner pair for the week.
His new pair is so so so studley ~
can't wait to show you!
