Christmas festivities with the Martins

Okay, I'm making progress!  I'm finally getting around to posting about Christmas!  Yay!

The Sunday before Christmas, we went up to my parent's house.  The younger grandkids reenacted the Nativity story.  Derek was so excited he was able to be Joseph!  Brooklyn was a shepherd and Tyler was a farm animal.  Very fun.


The kids also made their traditional graham cracker candy houses.  Our family has made candy houses ever since I can remember.  As a kid, it was something I looked forward to every year!  It's a little more hectic now because there are a lot more people involved, but it's still fun.

Brooklyn, with the remnants of her house.  I think she stuffed it too full of candy! ;-)

Cutie Patootie Ben.  He didn't want to take his eyes off his house!
