Everyone else is still asleep (come on... it's after 8am, already!!) and I'm the nicest person alive seeing as I'm not going in and waking them all up.
We spent Christmas Eve at the Smith's house with the Jones and Riggs families for a fun dinner of munchies and cheese fondue (thank you, Annette! It was delicious).
After hanging out, eating, and chatting, we headed home for a family tradition Jesi and I started a number of years ago when we went to Hawaii for Christmas and didn't get to participate in the annual Nativity reenactment with the Smith family. We made popsicle stick puppets and reenacted the Nativity story (though we might have gotten some bits mixed up... somehow Colonel Sanders ended up bringing Froot Loops as a gift for the Christ child...).
That was such a hit, that in 2011, Jesi and I made a sock puppet video for our parent's entertainment.
Since our sock puppet show went over so well, this year we decided to make another Christmas video for our parents. Knowing that it would be difficult to top the last one (and we didn't have as much time as we did in 2011; we only had about an afternoon to finish this one), we went a little simpler this year and made a music video to the Christmas classic, "Santa Bring Me a Dinosaur."
I have such a wonderful sister. She doesn't really like making these things, but she lets me boss her around anyways. She's pretty much my favorite.
Merry Christmas, everyone!! Hope you all have a wonderful Christmas and a happy New Year! My kindness has run out and I'm going to go wake some people up, now.
