Christmas festivities, so far

Friday night was our annual Mecham Christmas get together. Unfortunately, not everyone was able to attend. It is hard with such a large family. It was nice to have Cherise and her fam in town though.

Listening to Grandma. Notice Cole climbing on his cousin Blake.

Smothering Gma trying to get their ornament. For the past several years, Grandma gives a special ornament to each family member. This years was the nativity.

Blake and Luke being silly.

Cole was killing us with his chair. He finally figured out how to get out of it and had to show us all night long. Something was super funny, I totally missed it.

Randy and Darren being Christ-like, I'm sure!

Kim picking up Cherise and Marcos? I didn't have the camera, I'm not sure what was going on.

It was a fun night, as it always is when we all get together. We were able to continue the fun last night as we went to Amanda's concert and got to have dessert at Kim and Kathy's afterwards.

The Sunday before Christmas...

The girls were excited to wear their new dresses. I couldn't find Cole a cute sweater or tie this year. Christmas just kind of crept up on me this year I guess. It was Cole's first day in nursery, YIPEE! He ran in without even looking back. He did so well! Chloe is happy to have 2 weeks with him in nursery. She can't wait to be a Sunbeam though!

The sacrament program was very nice. Well, what I got to see anyways. Cole doesn't let us sit through much. I love hearing and teaching the story of Christ's birth, and hope we can all remember it when we get so busy with all the shopping.

For FHE we made a gingerbread house...

We are mean, and put Cole to bed. The other kids fought about who would decorate what part and that the other one stole their candy. Next year we will get them their own house to decorate!

Having fun with the frosting and candy.

Pretending to eat it.

It's been a crazy week so far and we still have lots more fun planned!
