Christmas

We spent Christmas in Rochester this year with just our immediate family. We went to church on Christmas Eve. The boys did pretty well considering the church was full and we had to sit in the second row from the front...right behind the pastor. Charles, of course, was full of questions about baby Jesus and Mary and Joseph and who is Jesus real dad...God or Joseph. Since I wasn't sure how to explain immaculate conception... Ooops a mistake here!! Thank you Chris!! What I meant to say was 'virgin birth'... to a 5 year old, I told him that God helped make Jesus but that Joseph was his dad and took care of him.

We opened a few packages on Christmas Eve after dinner. One of our family gifts was a game of Twister. If you ever want a few laughs playing a game with your kids, this is one to try. Henry did pretty good since he knows his right and left. Charles had a little more trouble...mostly because he couldn't quite stretch far enough to reach from green to red. Min tried to play---you can see on the last picture--but soon gave up and decided that riding Henry was a much better choice.



And here, are the most handsome boys I know!!

Calley I am glad to see you back and blogging! I thought maybe you had dropped off the face of the earth! Or at least the face of the internet. :D
Love the boys in their matching red shirts. Min is getting so big!
I have to tell you though- I think you mean "Virgin Birth"; Immaculate Conception refers to the conception of Mary (who Catholics believe was without origianl sin---> Immaculate), not of Jesus. (Remember, I explained that whole thing to you once! LOL)

We need to get together w/Jen again soon, it's been too long since we had mom's night out. ;D
