Christmas, part 2

Overwhelmed yet? No? Really?

Fine, I'll keep going.

More Christmas fun. . .

Hanging with Helaina & Isabella on Christmas Eve. We got to spend a few hours with Kim & Marco & their girls before the Webster family party. Nolan gets such a big kick out of his cousins. . . as you can see!

Nolan and Aubrey had a grand old time playing in the cradle we used for baby Jesus in the pageant. (forgive the color. we were having lighting issues in the house, for which Photoshop cannot compensate. At least under my meager skill set)

Tanner doing his best gangster pose

One of Ben's family traditions is to have tamales for Christmas Eve. We didn't manage to get them made that early, but we had them a couple of days later.

The finished product, ready to go into the steamer.

Dinner also included chips, made by Emily

And sour cream, as displayed here by Aubrey. . . seriously, she will eat it straight out of the container with a spoon. . . and we obviously let her.

What fun Christmas traditions. I can't believe how big Nolan is getting.
