Christmas wicka wicka wha?
Like my Christmas rapping skills? I had a lot of practice this year, wrapping I mean. But seriously, I think we look more like gangstas then shepherds (all I had was bandanas!). 

We enjoyed a trip to Bethlehem at Grandma Monique's house on Christmas Eve, complete with "exotic fish" (swedish fish) and "goat cheese" (string cheese). The kids were amazingly reverant and Cooper even offered the opening prayer! You can kind-of see sweet little Candi's belly. She's 34 weeks so it was especially sweet to read the scriptures of Joseph and Mary and imagine how hard it was for them.
Christmas day we opened presents, which mostly consisted of Cooper opening presents and Leila following his every move. After, we headed over to the "smoke house" (mom and dad almost burned their house down and now it invariably smells like smoke) for Christmas breakfast. Then, back to the Callahans for presents and a delicious brunch. BTW thank you, thank you, thank you Nikki & Sam for my new Martha Stewart's Cooking School :) I have been devouring every page and even though I'm still learning how to make chicken stock I have some very ambitious thoughts circling in my head, thank you!

Sounds like a great Christmas! I think your shepherd outfits are great. Cooper is so good at saying prayers. He says most of them in nursery for us. We'll miss having him next year.
Looks like you had a great Christmas! Congrats on #3.
You guys look cute all dressed up. Looks like you had a good Christmas.
That's just like you Laura - you just have to be a PUNK nativity person...figures...:D Your family is adorable! I love little Leila walking! What a big girl!
HI Callahans,
We sent you a christmas card, but it was returned to us :(... We just wanted to wish you a merry christmas and happy new year. We hope this is the best year yet! Best wishes with the new baby, too!
Laura,
I really loved your Christmas card - that last sentence was profound ... I should have saved it to copy it!
