Christmas Eve

12-24-08 Ever since I can remember my family has always done a program on Christmas eve. This year each family was responsible for sharing something with everyone else. I have to say my family bombed. In the past I did something nice like play the trumpet or sing a song. Well I wasn't prepared so I tried to get Talia to do "5 little Monkeys" with me. She had been trying to steal the show the rest of the time but when it was our turn do you think she would stay past "5 Little Monkeys jumpi..." and she was off. Well maybe next year. I did threaten to show everyone how I carry two children and accomplish household tasks. To redeem myself I was put in charge of the Nativity this year. After throwing a few costumes on the kids I herded them into the kitchen and cued them at their part. They looked awfully cute and it wasn't too long so I think it was a success.

Talia was so funny because she would watch Lita and when Lita got up to speak to everyone Talia would stand up in front of everyone and blab some very important gibberish sometimes clearing her throat. She is such a copy cat.
