McKneely Christmas 2010

We enjoyed a house full this year at the McKneely's in College Station--in total there were 18 of us for about 4-5 days! Whew--it was loud and sometimes crazy, but a lot of fun.
Grandma got to read (I love this picture!), Grandma has 2 bookcases full of books and there are always stacks upon stacks of these out and read while we visit--I LOVE THIS!

Maddie found an interesting way to sleep--we had to shoot this picture:
Dad got some one on one time helping Sam to build the play mobile castle:

Then, this is a picture that has been months in the making:Carl and Susan went to visit Sarah at BYU and Lindsey (who didn't get a shirt when we were there in July because she was having an attitude) requested a t-shirt. Grandma and Grandpa chose this shirt for her--we wouldn't you know but Aunt Rachel has an almost identical shirt. And we've been working to get them to wear them together for a few months. On her way to College Station, Aunt Rachel called us to tell us to pack Lindsey's shirt. Without even knowing the reason for her call, Lindsey heard it was her on the phone and told me to tell her to bring it because she knew hers was clean (it was laundry day that day--and she'd just folded it and put it away)--they had the same brain, it was cute and TA-DAH--here was the day they were twins! And YES they got a little razzing from all the Aggies in Aggieland!

Then on Christmas Eve there was a little Nativity program, with Sam as Joseph (that's what you get when you're the only boy cousin)Kaitlyn drew the Mary card:And Lindsey (who desperately wanted to be Mary) got to be a wise guy:
And Matthew was the obvious choice for a baby Jesus--(but we were pushing it to have him there at all because he was tired so he didn't have to dress up)
