Christmas Festivities!

The week before Christmas we enjoyed several different activities to get us into the Christmas spirit and remind us of the true meaning of Christmas! We enjoyed one night at Austin's preschool Christmas program!This rascal is not easy to take pictures of and usually runs the opposite direction of the camera! Hence this not so amazing picture of my handsome little man! But, he was very excited to stand on the stage and wave to us sitting down in the chairs!Here he comes!Okay, I guess I'll wave to you! :)The sang a lot of cute songs about Jesus' Birthday! It was very cute!Austin spent most of the time with his fingers in his mouth, and would take them out occasionally to wave to us and to do a few of the actions for the songs. Typical Austin! Would expect anything less!A few days later we enjoyed what has become another Christmas tradition for us in the Drinkwater household. We went to the Oakland temple to enjoy the lights and a live nativity.SOOOO EXCITED!!! They look forward to this every year!Ryan wanted so badly to take a picture where it looked like he was holding the temple! He must have seen this somewhere, because he was relentless in trying to get this picture taken! It was funny!Our friends the Robertsons who went with us!Getting these three to take pictures was nearly impossible!In the past, the rooftop of the temple has been closed. So, we've never been up there. This time it was open, so we treked up to the top to check out the view! It was beautiful! Ryan thought it was so fun to look down over the lights!After walking the temple grounds, we enjoyed the live nativity! We got front row seats and enjoyed listening to, and watching about the birth of our Savior!We had so much fun!!!
