Weekend photos

10th December 2007

The kids are having a blast playing outside in our balmy 70 degree weather lately.  Sure doesn’t feel like December!  Quite different than the single-digits and below zero weather all my friends and family in the great North are enjoying!   

They’re really loving playing in the nativity set, though.  This one made me laugh… they look like they’re getting directions from the shepherd:) 

Yes, Josiah is a perfect size to fit in with the nativity people.  He decided to catch a ride on a sheep.  Before this, he was carrying the sheep all over the yard, and leaving them. 

Our church did a super-cool neighborhood outreach this weekend.  We brought Santa in on a firetruck!  It was very fun.  Except that Analise is scared of firetrucks AND Santa.   So she screamed in my arms from the front porch of our friend’s house, begging to go inside. She did, eventually, sit on the floor in front of Santa, about 3 feet away, grudgingly, thanks to a sugar cookie with frosting and icing. Brian had to sit with her on the floor, and Josiah was unimpressed -this will be one Santa picture worth framing, right next to last year’s where they’re both screaming.  I should just give up on pictures with Santa, shouldn’t I? That or start saving for therapy…

Here’s a cool video of Santa coming in on the firetruck, though…

We didn’t get any pictures of the kids, though, we’ll post the one the photographer took when we get it.  They looked so cute… Analise in a pretty velvet jumper and Josiah in a white collared shirt, with a wintery sweater and khakis.  Unfortunately, he found an M&M in his carseat on the way over, and when we arrived he was smeared chocolate and orange all over his shirt, collar and pants! 

After all the excitement, this was Josiah in the car about 10 minutes after we left Santa.

    81!!! Dude, it is freezing out in California. Now, of course, when I say freezing I really mean in the 50’s but still it is no 81. We got a package today with a “special gift” in it. Do you guys know anything about that? We miss y’all.

    It was 9 below zero on our back porch this morning! That meant inside recess again; but they went out at noon recess.
    I love the nativity pictures and the leaf picture too.
