Christmas Eve and Christmas Day!!!

We celebrated at Aaron and Jenni's House this year!

Cousins--

Christmas Day!!!

We had an awesome day, very relaxing.

Austin had to be woken up at 7:30 so

we could open presents.

Mike carried him up so the kids

could all comedown at the

same time. We opened our

stockings then presents.

Jacob is our streaker!!! I went outside to

take a picture of the guys playing football.

Jacob came running out---NAKED:<

The afternoon nap!

Now on to my parents for dinner.



I am so thankful for this time of year that we

can celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ,

with family and friends.

Caroling!!!!!

We meet at my parents house and carol along Thoroughbred at each light post (sometimes). This is the 17th or 18th year we have done this. These are some of the kids before we left to sing our hearts out in the rain!!!

Now we are definitely Singing in the Rain!!!

Stacey always so fashionable---on going theme from the other blogs:/

Now we are back and getting our Hot Chocolate and warming up!

My baby didn't have a thick jacket so I suited him up in this 12 month snow suit (he wears 24 mon. or 2T)---I don't know why everyone made fun of him ( if you look closely you will see leg showing).

The chaos with the kids--actually they all played awesome together! These ones played in the back hall!


These ones played a game of hands up 7 up in the front room!
These were the trouble makers!!!!!

Snow, Santa and the Peyton Family Christmas!

For the last 3 years we have talked about going to Victoria Gardens Mall and see the Magical Snowfall. This was the year, get out of house and just walk around and see the snow.

To our surprise it was mini bubbles

instead of snow, we were bummed.

While walking around Jacob thought he

would revert back to a baby and

crawl down the streets, so

Mike would pick him up like this

and Jacob would bust up laughing.

The next night Santa and the police come to visit each neighborhood. Mike seemed to enjoy it more then the kids.

Mike's family always gets together the Saturday before Christmas to celebrate with one another, so the families can do their own thing on Christmas Day. Originally we were suppose to go up to Running Springs, but do to the snow and the road conditions Tammy had is at her house--she did an awesome job on such short notice.

Jacob got a Quad from Grandma and Grandpa.He helped dad put it together and boy is he a monster.

Angels Aware!!!

Tyler and Kylee were in a

Christmas Play at church.
Tyler played Moses as an Angel in Heaven.

Tyler and Kylee both had a small

singing solo. They did a great job.

The setting took place in Heaven where the Angels were talking to two prophets (Isaiah and Moses) about God's plan to come to earth.

It was fun to see a different perspective as they told of God's decision to come to earth as an innoncent Baby.

Immanuel-God with us.

Our Nativity Scene!!

We did our Nativity Scene last week, and as a tradition on my side of the family we for some reason always acted out animals

and the family had to guess what we are.

This is Kylee being a PIG, and Jacob helping!

Tyler started on the ground and became a BUTTERFLY!!

Austin used Jacob to be a Kangaroo!!

Mike was a goat!

Mike then gives each of us an item wrapped in newspaper for us to feel to figure out what person or animal we have from the Nativity Scene.

Tyler thought he had Wise Man, but it was the Camel!

Austin guessed right and had the cow!!

Jacob wanted to just play a part from the scene!

Kylee had a Wise Men!

Jacob got the donkey!

This is our Nativity Scene!!!!!
