Hancock Christmas

We had quite the ordeal trying to get down to Arizona for Christmas this year. The weather was not cooperating with us very well, however we finally made it down on the 23rd of December. It was great being able to see everyone. All the Hancock siblings were able to make for Christmas this year. As you can see Brindi loved her grandad, playing the piano with Bryant and Brennon, relaxing in Wyatt's swing, and is just an all around cute little girl. Wyatt looked the best with his santa suit on and his mother, Adelle, holding him. There is also a good picture of Amber and Bryant.

A part of the Heap family party is the greatly anticipated pinata. All the grandkids got their shot at taking off Spiderman's head. With a little help from mom, Brindi was able to get a couple good swings in. You can also see Celeste's reaction when the pinata finally broke, classic. Once the candy hit the ground the little ones were all over it. I only got pictures of Taryn with her little ring pop and Brindi trying to decide which sucker to suck and then trying it with the wrapper on until mom finally helped her out.

We then had our Nativity reenactment with the voice of Brennon telling the story of Samuel the Laminite and then the story of the Christ child in the manger. Ethan was Samuel, Byron was Joseph, Vanessa was Mary, and several of the older girls including Celeste were roped into being angels. Brindi felt a little left out so she decided to go and stand in the middle of it all. Celeste also played the piano as we sang a variety of christmas songs. The video is everyone singing and Brindi and Taryn dancing.

Next was the opening of our Christmas pajamas. This is one of my favorite Hancock traditions because the pants are really warm and have pockets. There are some really cute ones of Brindi with her grandad and grammy and a couple of her giving some pretty funny faces. Finally Christmas morning had arrived. Brindi had a rough night with too much candy which made her throw up but she was okay once she saw her present. Her biggest present was getting to spend time with the grandparents but she also got a lot of books with stickers and magnets, a new chair, a hula skirt and necklace, and rubber duckies and frogs. She quite enjoyed opening the presents and I think has finally got the hang of it.
