{christmas day}
2013
Watching The Nativity before heading out
to see presents.
I was so excited to see her open this:
She had a serious jam session (all the classics) right
after she opened it. I would love it if
she inherited some of her daddy's musical talents.
She calls the guitar pick her toothpick. :)
Her trademark cheese smile.
Of course we had to have a little duet!
Even baby #2 got a little present
in it's stocking.
The gang drove down from Kamas...
Mabel has been talking about wanting
"beeknockers" for a month now.
Nana and Grandpa Kraig made
all her dreams come true.
Check out that face!
Nana couldn't resist getting her second
grandchild a few things. :)
Kraig was really excited to try out his
Turn & Churn on the drive home!
Nate decided he wanted to be in charge of
Christmas dinner! Sounds good to me.
He made bacon wrapped rosemary chicken.
Here he is making the brine several hours before:
Mrs. Claus brought Nate a few new cymbals for
his drumset for Christmas. He got some good drumtime
in on Christmas day...and we all thought we had a
bandmember living in our basement.

He cooked the chicken in the oven for a little while
and then put it on the grill. It was so moist and tasty -
and that is coming from someone who
is very picky about her chicken!
I wish I had some right now.
Good job babe!
Good job babe!
Dr. Mabel had to perform a few emergency procedures
on Nana before dinner.
Earlier in the day we got to Skype with my dad &
family in Michigan. Thank goodness for Skype,
we love being to "see" family that we don't get to
visit often enough!
We got to talk to our missionaries in Austria too! They were
wearing their matching his and hers sweaters.
We sure miss these two!

YEP!...You've got a ROCK STAR on your hands! I LOVE the itsy, bitsy FIDER!
Looks like such a fun Christmas!! Mabel is so cute with that guitar! I love that Nate cooked your Christmas dinner, Mike cooked ours too! They should exchange tips and recipes - that chicken looks good!! :)
I love that you watched the nativity before opening gifts. I need to remember that for next year. :) Cute post.
Mabel's singing is the cutest thing EVER! I love seeing the picture of her opening the "beeknockers" ... pure joy on her little face and mine! Too bad you didn't get a picture of Kraig's flock of chicks! Love you guys and LOVE that at least you keep you blog up to date!
"Turn and Churn?' So we are curious , did it really work and did Kraig get his ice cream? How long do you drive for it to make ice cream? Funny!!
Hey just so you know, Nate had that same cheese smile for years. Check out his pics when he was little again. Bingo! They are sooooo much alike. Two peas in a pod, as they say.
Loved Mabel's singing!!! We could listen all day. So glad you made this video. She even stays pretty much on tune. Love that little girl, and miss her so much. Also funny to see our faces from the skype session on this post. Amazing.
