After a 5.5 hour drive home from Bend, Oregon, we headed over to "the cousins" for a Christmas Eve program. The boys and their cousins dressed up for the Christmas Story, James read from the scriptures, and Grandma Joy watched with enjoyment. After the Christmas story, Jared treated us with a rendition of "Feliz Navidad" on his Saxophone. Listening to him play took me right back to Senor Falsa's Spanish 2 and Spanish 4 class my Sophomore and Junior year. (Do you remember the fun we had in his class Gina?! He was the greatest wasn't he!) The kids enjoyed the music, probably not knowing it was an actual Christmas song. After his 5 verse version of the song, it was his parents turn to play a duet. James brought out his Cello and Tina played on the piano. A week or so prior to Christmas, James and Tina were asked to play a duet at a singles ward Christmas fireside. Tina, being the amazing mother she is, being pregnant with a NOW obvious belly, played the piano with a crying Tyson on her lap. He didn't want to go to anyone but his mom and was probably ready for bedtime.
Trey and Tian in their Christmas pj's playing with Jacob. Jacob is one of the nicest boys we know. Always happy to see the boys, even if our boys are quite a bit younger then he.
I am so sorry, but I HAD to post this picture. Not only is Tacy the sweetest Mother Mary ever, this is one of the worst pictures I have taken in a really long time. When I pulled up this picture, it made me giggle just a bit. The red eye is horrible, the focus is a bit off, just awful. But, Tacy's face was all too sweet.
Trey was VERY happy to be a wise man!
James let Katie and Trey "read" from the scriptures. (Katie was able to read, Trey just repeated what James told him.) I am sure Jared will NOT be pleased at me posting this picture of him in floral bathrobe. He didn't seem to mind. Thank you "cousins" for having us over for Christmas Eve AND Christmas morning!
