.Then on Saturday night the Wagners came over for OUR annual Christmas get-together! Another night of hanging out, talking, yummy food, playing games, and kids watching movies! I tell ya, I love holidays!!!!! My parents had bought me the game "Would You Rather...?" for Christmas, so we broke that open and played it for the first time with the Wagners. A GREAT GAME! We had such a good time playing it!
The "surrogate family", the kids and Gabe!

Aunt Lisa reading the book to the girls :-)
.THEN, on Sunday morning Jacob was in his first Kids Praise Christmas performance!!! He did SO great doing all the hand motions and singing the songs! (as did all the kids!) It's neat having him up there with so many close friends and family, like James, Austin, Ryan, and many others. He did the hand motions moreso during the 1st Service performance, but the 2nd Service performance was just too good to pass up! So that's the one I choose to upload right now. My favorite part is around the 1 minute and 40 second mark (or so), when Jacob loses his balance. :-) I am SO sorry, Ryan! But Ryan sure recovered well and kept right on goin'!

Jacob and other Kids Praise kids in the Christmas performance.

Great job with the hand motions!
.2nd Service Kids Praise Christmas Performance:

.I believe that concludes our Christmas festivities for 2008!!! I just asked Jacob if we should start taking down our Christmas decorations, which he PROMPTLY told me NO! So I think they'll be up for a few more days :-) My goodness, it's almost 2009, can you believe it?!?!?

Wow! I don't know how you were able to capture so many great Christmas memories in one blog...and how in the world I could comment on them all. Great job getting Stephanie set up on FB...we've all been waiting for that. I love the present pictures. Juliana looks so happy she could cry in one of them. And you can tell how excited Jacob is! I also LOVE that picture of Jenna with Aunt Stephanie. Can't wait to play that new game with you soon. Your family needs to come over! Finally, thanks for posting that video. Cracks me up everytime I watch it. And you were right, Jacob did SO awesome both services!
Hi, Just had a chance to catch up on some blog reading and wanted to say what fun your Christmas pics were. How great to have cousins and family to share the holidays with. Happy New Year!
