It's Beginning to look like Christmas

Last weekend we celebrated Grandma Gold's birthday. We all got together for a traditional celebration at Golden Corral. It's always a little crazy with all the kiddo's but it was a lot of fun.
I managed to get a few fruits and vegetables on their plates before the bottomless pit of pizza and ice-cream.
Happy Birthday Grandma! We love you!!

We then headed over to the church for a Nativity celebration. I've heard of these before, but have never actually been to one. It was beautiful. All sorts of Nativity's were spread throughout the gym with live Christmas trees and poinsettia's. Manger scenes made of rock, clay, glass, wood, you name it. The kids enjoyed it, especially since they were given a card of certain things to look for and mark off. (once we got over the drama have finding a pen or pencil) :)

The kids dressed up and took a manger picture with their cousins. Payton was a Shepherd.

And here we have the saddest little angel. Normally she would be ecstatic to dress up like this. Not sure what her deal was but thankfully she perked up in time for the picture.

I really think this turned out so cute. :)

I stole your picture of Dona for the Gold Nugget. :-) Happy Birthday to her -- she is a neat, neat lady. And your house is beautiful! Hope you're getting things fixed up and feeling settled soon.
