Wordless Wednesday...

refers to written words, right? The spoken words in a video don't count, do they?

Well, in my version, they don't.
This one's for you, Aunt Casey.

awww. i'm sorry to hear you had a Christmas of illness. :( we could have traded crappy Christmas stories. Maybe made each other feel better...or not. :)
love the video.

I know that was for his aunt, but I enjoyed watching that. Is he feeling better?

I love how Theo was trying to help. Older siblings always want to get in on the action.

Oh Emily... I love your practicality. "Save that box... b/c it's seasonal..." Ha! Love it.

Cute video! Joel has the same nativity--he enjoys chewing on baby Jesus. :)

Aunt Casey said...

You're welcome! hug. kiss.

that's pretty awesome.

we have a toy nativity scene too, and i always wonder: when mary was in the throes of labor, in a town she'd never been to, pushing out a baby in a stinky barn, surrounded by animals... and eventually when she gave birth, and jesus wouldn't stop crying, and she was sore from nursing and giving birth; do you think she pictured our kids two thousand years later playing with toy nativity sets with a cute happy little mary, joseph, jesus, sheep, and cows?

it kinda cracks me up. (:

Too. Stinking. Cute.

What a great video... even if I'm not Aunt Casey.

i think a video counts for wordless - especially this one! it's fun to see and hear your 3 boys interacting with each other!

seriously, laura. i'm cracking up too. and em, do you have an extra mary? or an angel? we have a box that we keep ours in because it's seasonal. but this year, we had to put it away with two missing little people. i'm holding out hope that they'll appear, but my fear is they got tossed out in another box. luckily, a search on ebay tells me that there are other spare ones out there.
