Talent....

Dillon is able to ride his bike, listen to his ipod and not run over any animals (most of the time). He does have occasional crashes which he jumps up from screaming "I'm OK".

Chloe, Hannah, Ida & Dillon...

Cousins!

Christmas Day....

Christmas morning!!

Everyone was up by 6:30am ready to go. Dillon was very into opening his gifts this year. Everyone got just what they wanted....and then some!

After opening all the presents Santa left, we headed over to Meme and Papa's for lots more presents and dinner. The kids had great time. Besides us, PJ, Donna and McKenna were there as well. The kids LOVE hanging out with their cousin McKenna.

Dillon and Uncle PJ love Cheez-its! These really were a gift to PJ from Dillon, but Dillon just saw his name on the tag and ripped into them. Papa keeps a "special" box of Cheez-its just for Dillon.

PJ getting the Cheez-its and helping Dillon open his BIG dump truck.

Hannah, Papa and a crayon maker.

Dillon got an ipod for Christmas. It was preloaded with all of his favorite music!

Again, I'm not sure what he's doing :)

Three very nice Christmas gift bags that Gramie made.

Merry Christmas.....

Christmas Concert part II or is III ???

Hannah and Chloe's K-4 holiday review was on Wednesday. This is probably the cutest show you'll see.

Hannah was chosen to play the wind chimes.

It was weird, like Chloe positioned herself so I couldn't get any really good pictures of her.......

They all did a great job.

A preview of the Christmas Concert....

The Church Pageant....

Last Sunday was the Christmas pageant at church....the first one Dillon's been in. All went very well. He wasn't still, but he didn't "get into anything". Chloe and Hannah were doves and Dillon was a sheep. Also during the church service Dillon took the collection, with Meme's help. I'm certain it has never been done quite like that, but the money got collected!

Dillon's grand entrance.

The girls grand entrance.

No, he wasn't asleep, as hard as the other kids prayed he was.

The view from the balcony. I'm not sure what Dillon was doing but all eyes were on him.

Santa doing the collection.
