Nativity 09

It was time for the annual Nativity re-enactment at the Orton home. Dad (Tracy) reads Luke 2 from the Bible and each child/grandchild plays a part.
Every one has had a turn being Mary and Joseph multiple times. This year Heidi was Mary pre- birth and Dixie was Mary post birth. TJ was Joseph and new baby Trey was the Babe wrapped in swaddling clothes.

Mary, Joseph and Jesus.

Cassandra (Dixie's niece) was an angel. With Cessna by her side.

Daytona was a Snow White angel- super cute!

Here Lance is giving gifts top the Baby Jesus.

Daytona wants to see the baby.

Kenny (Dixie's nephew) was the donkey.

I especially like the nose picking Sheppard- CLASSIC!

We all sang Angels we have heard on high and enjoyed each others company while remembering our Saviours birth.

Mom's Birthday = Water Fun

Yesterday was Mom's birthday and you know it isn't a birthday for Mom if it does not involve WATER! She wanted to go to the Gateway to play in the fountain with the Grand kids. We played, got wet- had a Hot Dog on a Stick and enjoyed celebrating with you Birthday Girl!

We all love you Mom- hope your birthday was all you wanted it to be....enjoy this year because next year is uh oh....50!

Getting into the fountains-
when we got there Mom had already beat us to them.


Cessna and Lancy!


A rare event- even aunt Lorie got in on the WET fun!




SOAKED!

4th of July

We had a fun Independence Day this year. We went out to Heather's house to celebrate.
We played water games, had dinner and went to a concert and fireworks.

The concert was Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and it was Fantastic! We had so much fun dancing and singing the night away! The fireworks were awesome too, but Mom would have liked it better if they had music playing along with it like Sandy fireworks does. It's just never enough! LOL

Water Balloon toss...
