A night in Bethlehem

These are pictures that Momma sweet took of our 2000 year old family. We are an average family of three on our way to pay outlandish taxes to Caesar Augustus. Joe and I also played Joseph and Mary. My ward is really cool, EVERYONE dressed up and I can't even begin to describe how amazing the decorating was.

poor mino tried so hard. finally Joe gave in and blew it up for her. I was all for letting her go at it all night, she'd get all pink in the face and spit everywhere trying to get this balloon blown up.

Better than Disneyland

This is the best day of our lives. It has snowed .0012 inches, and mino is going wild. She doesn't say snow, but only snowman, so when I opened up the blinds and had her look out at our hurricane-winter-wonderland she said, "Oh, wow, snowman!"

You better watch out....

I've really capitalized on that 'be good or else santa won't stop here' business. Mino has brushed her teeth religiously ever since.

More of the last few holidays

the pics of mino on the 'boat' are a re-creation of columbus' voyage to the new world. I thought it fitting because she didn't know about the first thanksgiving. I'm pretty sure that it didn't click, she'll probably remember thanksgiving as the day mom uses tons of elmer's glue and makes everyone wear unseemly hats.
