How To Throw a Baby

Chris and Byron present, How To Throw a Baby

The Nativity Story, as told by the Barragan Family

Starring Olive as Mary, George as Joseph, Penelope as the Baby Jesus, and Lucy as the angel. They each used their blankies as their costumes, and of course Lucy also had on a princess dress and wings. I narrated, Chris directed, and Craig was here to snap some pictures. It was a sweet little activity...

...But then it somehow turned into a game of jumping off the coffee table and beating up Daddy.

To Papa and Oatsie's House We Go

Spent a few days at Papa and Oatsie's house. Here are some highlights from the trip...

Driving to Goodyear, and not loving every minute of it.

Papa and Penelope.

Georgey's new ride!

Lucy and Oatsie.

These reindeer were not made for riding.

We made reindeer cookies,
and delivered them to Anna's friends.

Ironman!?

Making the gingerbread house...

...it wouldn't stay standing...

...everyone started losing interest...

...so Oatsie finished the job.

Watching the new television.

I love Blue Bell,
we were sad to leave it behind!

Lakeview Ward Christmas Party

We went to the Christmas party at church tonight. Chris was asked to share the story of the nativity, and the story of St. Nicholas. He did a fantastic job, he's a natural storyteller. He also made a potato dish for the event that was super delicious. The kids had a blast, and we ate horribly. It was great!

I let the kids choose whatever they wanted from the buffet.
Lucy chose only sweets!

Georgey and me

Georgey said "cheeeeese" for all the people taking pictures
instead of talking to Santa.

Olive was scared of Santa!

The girls sabotaged the stage when Chris was telling
his stories.

Ketchup Popsicles

Chris finished out the sales year as number 89 out of 500! He's doing fantastic, and as always is such a good provider. Not to mention the most attentive husband and daddy I know. I'm a lucky duck.

Christmas Starts!

We got our Christmas tree today...

And we went to the Boulder City Santa parade tonight...
