TRADITION!
We try to carry on the traditions our Mother had at Christmas.
Because there are so many of us, we party at a church.
Menu never changes:
Fruit Cup
Scones and ham.
Some of us love it and one in particular hates it, but it never changes.
Char loves his Utah Santa hat.
It makes him happy.
Carson discovered basketball.
He loves it.
Cambree had to do some adjusting of Hailey's bow.
It looks better now.
Carson played baby Jesus.
Baby Jesus did not want to stay in the manger.
Addi was the star.
We missed Katie and Darin who weren't able to make it.
Papa had a good time.
His joy in life is watching the little kids.
Frank, aka Santa, came.
Carson not too sure what to think.
When Santa arrived, Addi said "That's Poppy Santa."
She was so confused looking at him.
"Addi that's Santa."
"No, Mom, that's Poppy in a Santa suit."
She's 2. Isn't that too young to figure this out?
Cambree wasn't sure about the bearded man.
Hailey didn't much care one way or the other.
Thanks for the traditions Mom.
We still have fun after all these years.

i love this one too. and i giggled when i heard addi say that. nat has got her work cut out for her...
It was a good time! I really can't believe that Addi figured it out. I think that we convinced her at Grandma Gines' that Poppy is NOT Santa...who knows.
Love to see Papa smiling again. Mom's Christmas tradition is still alive here too.
(a blow up manger???)
Love the photos, the party, and the smiling Papa. Marilee....the blow up manger was a Oriental Trading exclusive....that fits perfectly in my natavity box.
