This was the first year for A Night in Bethlehem...a live nativity at our church. It was a really fun and elaborate production! Graham was baby Jesus or at least one of them! There were tents set up with interactive stations, live animals, and actors re-creating scenes from the Christmas story.
The wise men plus royalty.
There is a story behind one of these mischievous sheep. While setting up the day before one of the sheep escaped. Matt was there helping build the fence so he and a few others ended up chasing this sheep about 2 miles across town until he finally wrestled it down in a creek. 
Joseph, Mary and my little Jesus! This was Graham's big acting debut and a tough role to follow. He was a perfect little angel the first night....the second night...not so much. Thankfully he only had a 30 minute shift. 
Sweet baby Jesus!
There's a donkey behind you!
The camels were huge! E was a little nervous around them. I was too though!
Jesus (Graham) and the shepherd (Gonnie).
Making blueberry pancakes over Christmas break. Easton asks for them every morning knowing that he is going to get oatmeal with raisins or eggs and toast so it's fun when I actually surprise him with a YES to blueberry pancakes! He is not sad...just making a silly face.
This was one of 3 days that KK and E made Christmas cookies. It got to be a pretty regular occurence at the house...so much so that on days when we didn't make them, before bed he would say "uh oh we forgot to make cookies today"!
Christmas cookies at the Sewell's house! Sara decided to invite all the kiddos over to make Christmas cookies on the 23rd. Then us moms got to eat lunch while they played off their sugar highs!
