Staycation

We've been having a great week of staycation at home. After Mimi and Pop left to get ready for the Bowl Game, we had a shopping day at Ikea and Macy's and kept on painting. We painted Bristol's room, Brayden & Brinley's room and the playroom. Painting three rooms while you are still living in them means that our house is a major disaster area right now! Working on putting them all back together and will post photos soon. We've enjoyed everyone sleeping until at least 8:00 every day this week!! We've also been playing with our Christmas presents, playing lots of games and creating lots of art projects.

 Letting two little ones "help" paint was short-lived. They had fun and felt like they contributed to painting Bristol's room.

 Bristol helped herself to the spackle I was using when I wasn't looking!

 "A bow?"

Tutu Cute!

Adorable.

Live Nativity

We went to a live nativity this weekend with some friends and it was so neat! There were actors at different scenes, grapes and bread, singing angels (one up high) and the manger. The kids said the best part was Baby Jesus!
