christmas at grandma nancy's

So here are a very few pictures of our Christmas vacation with Eric's family. They uploaded out of order, but at least they're finally posted!
We did an impromptu Nativity with all the kids. I think Abby was a sheep (hence the white blanket). Madilyn was Mary and LOVED it. She was very calm and quiet and un-Madilyn-like the whole time. I was very impressed that she took her role so seriously. She only had one fit when she got frustrated that her "shawl" kept falling off. Other than that she very gently took care of her "baby Jesus" and followed all the directions given to her of how to be Mary. What a sweetheart!

Here's Abby on Christmas morning. Usually the binky is the first thing to go in the morning, but I guess it was forgotten. What a cutie!
Here is all of Eric's side of the family that stayed the first night that we were there. I was really really glad they didn't take pictures the night before when we were properly dressed and put together. REALLY glad that instead they sucked us into it in the morning when we were still in pajamas.
It was great to spend so much time with so much family!

Cute the girls have matching p.j.s. That must be the reason they waited until morning for pics ;)
