Early Christmas at Gma and Papa Shields

We had an early Christmas at Grandma and Papa Shields because they'll be out of town over the Holidays. Grandma Terri made Nativity outfits for the kids and they acted out the nativity (as much as you can expect from a 4 1/2 yr old, 2 1/2 yr old and almost 2 yr old boys). We had a lot of fun opening presents and making gingerbread houses!

Peyton would only do it if he was the angel because it looked like a ghost.
