I have a lot to catch up on, but I have taken close to NO pictures lately. I even had to bum some pictures off my sister-in-law's blog. I'm terrible, I know, but its true. So, thanks Sophie, now I can blog. :)
So, Christmas was a big deal this year - it was planned more than 2 years in advance. Between church missions and deployments to Iraq, it had been 9 years since the Weber brothers had been together for Christmas. Adam came home from his mission to Poland just a few weeks before and Matt and Breanne drove in from Minnesota with their kids. It was really great to all be together even though it got pretty crazy and loud with 10 kids ranging from 9 years down to 2 months all in one house. I guess raising 6 boys provides you with some serious patience skills because Grandma was the only one who seemed to be immune to all the noise and loved every minute. She hosted major sleepovers for the cousins, cooked fabulous meals, planned the most fun activities, and did it all with more energy and enthusiasm than the rest of us put together.
On Christmas Eve, Grandma got the kids to act out the nativity story. They were all so cute, but I have to say, I think Elle has a future in acting! I mean, we all knew she was a ham, but she had a speaking part as the Angel and nailed it! Then, on to the traditional singing fun - complete with belles jingling, horses clopping, belts snapping, and brown paper bags popping.
We took our kids home that night to our own house to wait for Santa. They had a great time in the morning opening presents. . .
