Christmas

The Christmas break is flying by this year, and I don't want it to end. Here is a recap of our Holiday Festivities.

We spent Christmas with "Gram" /gwam/ and "Papa" /bapa/ in Price. The whole family was able to be together for Christmas Eve and Morning this year. We couldn't ask for more.

Christmas Eve (Day):
We had our second annual family picture. We went to the Church and used the stage curtains for the back drop. While waiting, Bentley had a good time taking on Uncle Keenan and Uncle KC at basketball and soccer. He was in heaven. The girls demonstrated their vocal talent in the microphone in the RS room. We not only were able to take a family picture, but we had a fun time together too.









Christmas Eve: Jerusalem Supper, The Nativity and Christmas Eve gifts (lots of new PJs :)



















Christmas Morning:
Waiting for the OK to see if Santa had made a stop.















The kids must have been good this year; either that or Santa's sleigh crash landed under Grandma's tree. Bentley was excited about his remote control car, football getup, the movie KungFuPanda, a Star Wars video game, and more. Emma was amazed that Santa knew exactly what she had wanted being as she refused to tell him when she (and Mom) sat on his lap. She said her favorite gifts were her BittyBaby bed and her art easel. She also got other BittyBaby accessories, and a lot of much need clothing (which surprisingly she was not all that excited about.) Ali was excited about a BittyBaby of her own, a BittyBaby stroller, a Little People bus, etc. She's not hard to please, but loved everything. Every time she sees a Santa she gets really excited and says his name, "Santa Clause, Santa Clause". The house in the picture was for all the kids. It is a play house they can decorate themselves.

What a great Christmas! Santa scored the art easel off amazon, now I'm sad I didn't put in a request as well, oh well, we got way too much stuff as well! I'm glad you guys had a great Christmas!
