Wait, it's already APRIL?? Oops, posting about Christmas! Sorry folks, I had technical difficulties importing these pictures into Lightroom, and then just gave up. So I haven't really updated the blog since. SOO, here we go, more updates to come. I'm just going to back date them and pretend like I was blogging the whole time :)
For Christmas this year, we went to Brian's parents' house in Boston. All of the family was there this year, so it was a full house!
We got there first, so we said hi to our friends Nick and Catherine, who were my friends from middle school. I wish we took pictures!
{Family Pics}
We took some family pictures on the first Sunday before everyone came.
{Edaville Park}
Nearby, there's a park called Edaville with carnival rides, food, lights, and a real train you can ride. They also had CIDER DONUTS (New England treat)! Brian and I shared one. OMG, so good.
I was a little scared for my life on this one! It didn't seem the safest. But I survived!
This is what Kylie did the whole time. It was COLD (but one of the warmer nights when we were there)!
Train ride
The cousins on the turtle ride. Mariah kept putting her hands up on all the rides. Disneyland has trained her well.
None of the Millers wanted to go on the good rides, so we "in-laws" had to go by ourselves!
{Pics of the Miller girls}
(we MAY have bribed Mariah to take a few of these...)
{The 1st Annual Miller Christmas Pageant}
A wonderful tradition we started this year. It was awesome and disorganized. Maybe next year, we should write a script.
Kylie played an awesome Baby Jesus!
Shepherds: Steve and Blake
Narrator: Claude
Camera crew: Laisa
I think Marlena was the angel??
EVERYONE wanted a staff. So we had a lot of shepherds.
{Christmas Morning}
Mariah got sick on Christmas morning so we didn't get dressed for pictures :( But here we are opening our stockings.
Brian restrained fixed up an old pastry cutter that belonged Marlena's grandma. A great Christmas surprise!
Blake's favorite word of the break: "Trash"
Reading The Tickle Monster
Flying the helicopters around
Christmas Dinner
{Shooting}
This is Brian's new hobby. They went a bazillion times over the break.
{Park Fun}
{Chilling}
Bath time with the cousins: this one had the least amount of nudity.
I can't remember if this was a heated game or not. Games is really big in this family.
We combined recipes to make AMAZING cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning.
And of course we made LOTS of cookies.
And the kids helped eat the batter.
{Indoor Play}
Where do kids go play in Boston when it's freezing outside?? Indoors :)
Can you touch the top?? Christie looks really athletic doing this.
...And Mariah and I kinda just look like slugs...
{Gingerbread Houses}
Ours was pretty awesome.
And what did we do for New Year's Eve?? Brian and I went to bed at 10:00pm. LAME!
