Preschool Nativity

McKay as a Shepard boy.

I wouldn't mess with this Shepard.

McKay's class also got to visit Santa on a field trip.

This year, McKay got to participate in his preschool's Nativity play. It was pretty comical watching 3 and 4 year olds trying...or sort of trying...to take direction. But also very adorable. I'm so happy to know that McKay is being taught, apart from home, by someone who recognizes our Savior and who isn't afraid to teach and celebrate of Christ's birth.

Merry Christmas

Britt & Jamee

Oceanside Pier. All ready to go.

Our new family thanksgiving tradition is to run along in the annual Oceanside Turkey Trot. It's so much fun to get out there as a family and be among all of the positive energy. It was a great turn out with lots of fun character's in costume to spot. We saw a banana, gorilla, buddy the elf, and lots of turkeys and pilgrims to name a few. That poor gorilla. He didn't think that costume through, drenched in sweat bullets by the end of the race.

...more to come on Thanksgiving Day at Papa Keith's...

family pics, on a whim

 

 

Some friends called one evening to see if we wanted to take turns snapping some family pics. So on a whim, we jumped in the car and headed down to capture a few fun shots. We still need to get the rest of the pics from their camera. Jeff took most of these ones, which explains his absence in the majority. Perhaps one of these days we'll do an actual, real family photography session; but, until then. & thanks so much friends for the fun photo date. :)
