Christmas day at Grammy and Grampy's house

I wonder what's in this present?


What are you up to Nate?


Oh, presents!


I'm really getting this unwrapping presents thing down.


Field family dinner.


We're tired!

Christmas Eve

We drove down from Flagstaff in the morning with our traveling party and continued the party at Doug and Elaine's house. Then went to our candlelight Christmas Eve service. Nate was very good at holding his own candle and sat very good during the whole service.

Who's having more fun with Nate's toy?


Discussing if the marble corkscrew has an end.


Ellie decided that naked and close to the food was how she wanted to spend her Christmas Eve.

That's a lot of Tinkertoys!

Nate's birthday cake. It was a group effort (Mommy and Oma baked the cake and Daddy frosted it, and Nate sprinkled it.)

That's kind of a big bite!

This was Nate's first time playing "Twister"
He was surprisingly really good at it!

Growing grass!

Here is a little weird toy that Mandy got for Nate from her Window Rock trip.
It came with candy inside and a head that grows grass??

Pig tails!

It's amazing, we were able to get pig tails in Ellie's hair!

It's time for Christmas!

Ta Da! Nate helped decorate the Christmas trees. The littlest one is his design.

Would you like a potato? Ellie is helping Grammy make mashed potatoes.

Jumping on the trampoline at DeHooghs. The kids loved it!

Ellie wears many hats also!

You can use anything as a hat!

Ain't she just the cutest cowgirl ever!
