Christmas in Virginia

For those who were wondering - FTASB is short for "faster than a speeding blog".  After leaving my dad alone and cold in New Mexico, we jumped on a plane and ended up in Virginia for Christmas.  The festivities began with Christmas Eve.  We reenacted the Nativity in a live action version.  M was Mary and I, JC, was the sheep.  Look at those faces!

Then it was off to make cookies for Santa Claus.  M and I ended up making sugar cookie "Gingerbread" men.  I'm pretty sure that Santa would have noticed the conundrum if he hadn't been making such a large delivery.  With my cousins, it made 12 good little boys and girls!


After a restful three hours of sleep, it was time to head downstairs and discover how much Santa loves us...
 Evan's to Betsy's!  "Santa loves us a lot," I thought while clasping my hands in anticipation.

Present opening commenced.  I took it seriously, and by the end I was straining to overcome the tape!

And in a new tradition, Christmas afternoon is spent playing Guitar Hero.  Does anyone else obtain more star-power than they could ever need?

Whoops!  Don't bother the rock star while she's playing Crazy Train!


Merry Christmas everyone!

Yeah, Crazy Train is some serious buisness. No wonder she shot the camera such a look. She needed to concentrate.

The outfits for the live nativity are all kinds of awesome. The sheep in particular is cracking me up.
