We spent a few days before Christmas at Hallam's home. They played dress-up every day and jumped in the castle lots and played instruments for us. Did you know Jonah can play the trombone? And the violin, too. Annabelle, Grace, Saffi and Schafer are good at the drums. Annabelle taught Saffi to play the piano. Grandma has all these instruments available, so the kids take advantage and practice every time we go.
We pretended Monday night was Christmas Eve. What fun and chaos acting out the nativity. Annabelle and Jonah always seem to get to be Mary and Joseph. Grace and Saffi were angels again. Baby Violet played Jesus. Ezra was a shepherd. Susan and Emmeline were wise men. Olivia was the star.
I didn't get great pictures of our pretend Christmas morning (Tues morning). But we sure had a great time! Oh my goodness, barbies, jewelry kits, books, baby dolls, slippers, books, transformer mask (Jonah: "okay, that is totally awesome!"), more books, plastic colored table settings, a GI JOE (Jonah: "No Way!!), and socks, socks, socks. We were just showered with presents. We were so sad to leave Tues night, but home we must go!
