This is "Joseph the Shepherd". Last Sunday Dane's preschool performed a little nativity play at the church. They let all the little brothers and sisters dress up too. Dane was insistent on being a donkey and Ty a Shepherd. As they were all getting in costumes the little boy who was supposed to be Joseph decided he wanted to be a donkey too, so we needed a new Joseph. Ty looked somewhat the part, but when asked if he would be Joseph he refused because he was supposed to be a shepherd. We fixed the situation by asking him if he would be Joseph the shepherd and he thought that was a pretty good idea. Their little play was so cute, all the kids were adorable. Mary was holding the doll Jesus through the play and Ty thought the manger was a chair so he tried to sit on it and fell over, then he jumped up and ran off. I wish I had gotten a few better pictures.
These are a few picures of Gingerbread house decorating at Grannie's house. I had to keep the boys from putting 10 pounds of candyon the house, and in their mouths. 
Last week we went to the Library to see Santa. We waited in line for about an hour. When we finally got to him Ty was busting at the seams and ran and jumped onto his lap. They loved seeing him and even got really cool toys from Santa, an older man in town who makes these wooden toys all year, then gives them out to kids at Christmas. This year he made dogs that you pull with a string and they have hinges so they wiggle as they move along. Make sure to check out how cute the toy is in the picture, it's so nice of him to do that, all the kids there were so excited to get a toy early.
Dane told Santa that he wanted a big remote control truck, but really anything Santa decided would be good for him.
Lee took this picture the other day from the living room, we get such a gorgeous view everyday!
Lee is working on remodeling one of the bathrooms in the house and Dane and Ty stepped in to help with the demolition. They are such hard workers!

Joseph the shepherd is a real cutie, but that donkey is just a cool! Thanks for keeping us a link to the boys and the comings and goings. I love it!
How fun! It looks like you guys are having a great time with the holiday festivities. I loved that each of the kids got to make their own gingerbreaad house...maybe next year.
How fun! It makes me miss home seeing Grannie's house and thinking about Gingerbread houses.
The kid's look like they are having a blast. Really cute pictures of your family. It was good to see you all on the web cam. We have one too, so maybe sometime Dylan can talk to the boy's. He really misses them.
Hey guys! I heard you moved, and was excited to find your blog on the Leishman's! It is great to see you are doing well. The boys are so big! What an adventure in Alaska!
