| Trying to do the cute baby in a stocking idea from Pinterest but this chunky man didn't fit in his. I thought the sweater material might stretch but nope! So we tried another stocking. |
 |
| He didn't fit in that one either. So we placed it on top of him and it turned out pretty good! Ha. |
 |
| Matching Cousins! And they both managed to soil these outfits within an hour of this picture. |
 |
| So I was feeling like a terrible mother for not taking Breydon to meet Santa for the first time. Luckily my sister Megan has a close relationship with the big guy and we were able to make a quick trip over to meet him. Megan saves the day! |
 |
| Very shy Adleigh. At least she actually sat on his lap and didn't cry. She finally told him what she wanted (a princess crown) in a very quiet voice right as she got off. |
 |
| Breydon had no problem with the big guy! Adleigh also told him what Breydon wanted, a purple toy, not sure how she decided he wanted that. |
 |
| After the long trip to the North Pole both boys were very tired and took way too long of a nap. Brian didn't fall asleep until after 2 am. |
 |
| Our family has a tradition of acting out the Nativity while reading Luke 2. Adleigh chose to be the angel. |
 |
| But the angel also had to have the sheep. She was a very demanding Angel. |
 |
| Brian was in charge of the camera... He took about 1,000 pictures. This is me threatening him to stop. :-) |
 |
| "And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people." |
 |
| Most of the nativity crew. I was a wise man and Breydon was Jesus the escape artist. |
 |
| My little actors. |
 |
| After the nativity we all got to open one gift which contains our Christmas jammies and the kids also got some books. Brendan got to go first since he is currently the youngest Mikesell Grandchild. He was not very good un-wrapper. Mostly he just wanted to eat the paper. |
 |
| Grandpa helped Adleigh open her present. She to some Peppa Pig books and was very excited. Peppa Pig is her current obsession besides Frozen. |
 |
| Cousins in matching jammies... getting Santa his cookies... or just eating his cookies. |
 |
| The stockings were placed on the couch with care because there was not enough room on the fireplace to fit 15 stockings. |
 |
| And the massive amount of presents were taken out of hiding places and put under the tree. The children were not deemed trustworthy enough to have them under the tree for an extended period of time. |
