More Holiday Fun

Aunt Audrey said our cousins in Australia love to watch our videos, so I am trying to post more. Here are some from Sunday and Tuesday.

Sunday night I was making little Christmas scrapbooks while my funny kids played "Nativity" and made up songs. Heidi was singing by herself for a LONG time before I could catch her on camera, so I really missed the sweetest things she was singing, right along with the melody and perfectly in tune. Oh, well...this is still pretty cute:

Transcript of Sunday night nativity playing video:

Heidi: (sings) I am s child of... God, and He loves me, He loves me

and He got born on Christmas

Christmas 24

And I love Him and He grew up to be a smart boy

Addie: Now! You gotta sing a special song, but it can't be the Child of God...

Heidi: [Hums "Away in a Manger"] (sings) He gave me a family to live in

and He, and He...This Christmas He got born...

James: [while Heidi sings] I was this truck (Mack from Cars). I was a nice truck.

Heidi: (Still singing)...and He grew up to be a big...BOY! (runs away, calling BABY!)

Addie: Now it's time for me to sing

Heidi: Baby (calling to James) This way! Get away from the older deers. The older big deers, You're reindeers.

Addie: (joins Heidi and James playing Reindeer) I was an 8 year old. I was a girl... (Big stretch for Addie)

THE END.

I babysit my nieces Rosalie and Hannah, and nephew Danny on Tuesdays. All the big kids go to school, so it's just Hannah and James early on. Hannah was so excited about our decorations this week--she and James watched the train for about 10 minutes (man, it's really loud in this video!), then cut a path of destruction through the house before I laid them down for naps. But it was still pretty fun.
