Soooo..............it's been a little while

Okay, let's start with the updates.  First: Easter Pageant!  We had the opportunity to participate in the cast of the Easter Pageant as a family this year.  Jeber and I did it together 2 years ago, Jeber did it by himself last year while I was busy growing a baby inside me, and said baby did it with Jeber and I this year.

 Highlights:
  •  Baby P being the center of attention and loving it.  Seriously, every few minutes it seemed like someone  (often a random someone) would come tell us how beautiful our baby is or talk to him or ask to hold him or something of that sort.  People in the cast we had never seen before would come tell us that they had been watching our baby.
  • Being extremely busy and yet somehow it all worked out.  Our housework definitely was neglected for a few weeks but......I guess that's not too different from the norm
  • Mom doing Jeber's make-up, meaning painting muscles onto his body
  • Spending time with Snickers (that's the diva donkey)
  • Baby P getting to play baby Jesus
  • Jeber getting to portray the baptized man and one of the thieves on the cross....again
  • Me getting to go on stage only like 5 times over the course of the few weeks we participated
  • My nursing costume that was so ugly even the costume people made fun of it
  • Awesome musical numbers at each of the devotionals
  • Salt Lake coming to take pictures of my baby.  Okay, they didn't come to specifically take pictures of my baby but they did because he's cute
  • Having a trusty wagon for Baby P to lounge and sleep in
  • Baby P getting to wear the sandals his abuela sent him from Guatemala

    Um "Hi" cute baby Jesus
  • He is ready to go pro at this point
    Loving the attention
    He is probably the cutest kid in costume ever!!!!!  The headband---the perfect touch for his full head of hair
    He looks just like his father (: Ha
As always, it was a good experience, it was just a lot more stressful busy this time.  We would try to time baby's feedings and naps just right so that he would be happy, or at least not screaming, for his big role in the nativity scene.  That was sometimes difficult due to his nosiness.  He was very interested in everything that was going on. 
There were so COLD days so he got bundled up and relaxed

Really cold!  But comfy

In the manger

We are a happy family




I don't even know what to say about this picture
