And here we go ...
Kids are great. I can sit on my duff now as they put up the Christmas decorations for me.
"No, Virginia. There isn't a Santa Claus." I kinda spoil Christmas for them.
Hey! Mr. and Mrs. Daher are visitng from California! How weird! They're married! Nathan is married! How creepy!
This was a Christmas party the Branigars put on at their church, where they sang and did a funny play and other great stuff. Anthony Tull offers Mr. Branigar a bag of chips here for some reason.
"I saw mommy kissing Santa Claus!" Kidding, they weren't singing that.
Sisters Abby and Hannah sing a beautiful duet together.
So we had them over a few days later to spend the night.
Nathan, you have more confidence in your smile now, and it makes me want to punch you.
Oh, and that night just happened to be this little girl's 4th birthday! I think, although I'm not positive, she was excited to receive this gift.
Melissa makes another scrumptuous birthday cake.
Just weighing Jonas. We're a cowboy church, so we weigh our babies along with our calves.
Melissa and Jonas want to wish you a happy, Norwex Christmas. You can even use them as baby wipes.. "It feels good on my bum," says Jonas Niednagel. "That's embarassing to admit, but so are my socks."
Aww ... Melissa had a lady's night, and Heather stuck around the next morning and baby sat this little guy for awhile. Thanks, Heather!
Getting ready for the big Christmas church program.
Remember that feeling as a kid? Getting ready to sing and having butterflies in your stomach? Maybe that was just me.
They hold song books, but never look at them.
Look up "Goober" in the dictionary. You'll see that picture of Philip.
Both are named William, but only one is a guttersnipe.
Beautiful string quartet.
They just sound worse and worse every year. Oh wait, I meant to say, they just sound better and better every year!
If I could sing I would be up there too.
All right, family let's get this right! I'm giving this two minutes and then we're done!
Yes, "It's A Wonderful Life!"
Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa's house! You kids sure eat a lot!
We also had Brad Voeller and his family and Marscel joining us!
Mother and daughter partake.
Julian and Marian packin' the pounds.
Afterwards that night we went Christmas caroling together. Only took one picture.
It is Christmas day for certain! That's pretty cute.
Awww man that's cute.
"Hey, that looks staged." So what? You gotta problem with that?
Was wondering why Brad was taking tons of pictures of his kids and not mine.
Beautiful faces.
Little rascals stop Marscel from passing.
I'm William, and I'm content waiting to open my Christmas presents until everyone is ready.
A little Christmas message before we open gifts. I'm one of those cruel dads that makes their children wait another 10 minutes just for the kick of it.
Commence hording!
Jeremy made Melissa this incredible essential oil rack!
Marscel
wants to go into special forces. I told him we all think he's special.
Jeremy and Mother.
Sooo ... I came down with pink eye and it lasted for like 10 days! My wife got it too. So miserable. You can't even stand people looking at you, so I went Michael Jackson with glasses and a hat. Here we are playing Settlers of Catan with Marscel. Life is good!
And that's it! Happy New Year, everyone!
Thanks for stopping by!
