A Very Naegeli Christmas




What a fun and crazy and loud time as we shared our gifts with each other on Dec 28th! Robots, headbands, matching shirts, lens coffee cups: interesting times!! I say we all weigh in on Julie's new scale now and try again in a month!

Boxing Day 2010


We joined the Strybos' and their extended family, and the Burnham's for a sleigh ride out at Tabor Lake. We had a fun time and then got to visit at the Strybos home. Below is Dana and her husband Kelly, this one's for you, Dana, my secret blog follower!!

The Best of Christmas Past!

The "joy" of our lives!!

Christmas morning was lots of fun even after 2 kids not being able to sleep until about 1:30 am!! Can't believe Everest was with us for another Christmas, he always lays down nearby so he doesn't miss the excitement!

Christmas brunch was yummy !

I call this picture "Can't you just see the love between Mike and Julie?"! GET IT??

Why do the fun days always go by so quickly?!

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever!!

This is my awesome 2 & 3 year old Sunday School class. They sang Happy Birthday to Jesus and did a great job! The picture of Mitchell is just before a classic Costley meltdown on the sanctuary floor, that's why he never got up front! Once we got back to our classroom he cried and wanted to go back to sing!

The Brer Rabbit part of the show was full of interesting characters, including Ethan as little brother donkey and Maren as a grandaughter, Micah as Brer Donkey and Wayne Hamilton as Brer Bear. Really cute!

We saw the story of the birth of Jesus unfold before us, with a real live baby Jesus. Josh played a great shepherd and Grace was the perfect little girl with nothing to give Jesus. She reminded us, simply, to give Him our hearts. Amazing! All the kids and adults were fantastic! And Hannah was terrific in the choir but I never got a clear shot of her, I'm sure her dad did!!
