Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas!!! Our Christmas season started off with my big enrichment activity that I was in charge of. We did a night in Bethlehem. It was a lot of work, but it was worth it. It was a nice way to start off the season.

Next we had Parker's Pre-School program. Can I tell you that I Loved this. Bryan took the day off so he could come and watch and boy was Parker proud. The little boy I babysit and Parker are in the same class and they were so dang cute!!!

We also took the kids to see some Reindeer and Santa. Parker thought the reindeer were really cool, and Maelie hated them and Santa. We all had to be in the picture with Santa. I don't have it on my computer so I will see if I can add it later.

Christmas eve we spent with the Bryan's Family. We had a nice Christmas dinner over at his Grandmas. It was fun to have most of his Aunts and Uncles, Cousins and all of there kids. It was fun to sit around an catch up. We gave the kids a bath and the opened there Christmas pj's at grandmas so they were ready for bed when we got home. They look so cute in there Jammie's.

Christmas Morning we woke the kids up around 7 to see if Santa had come. Boy did he come and he spoiled my kids rotten!!! They loved opening presents and every time Parker would open one he would say "This is what I always wanted". It was so funny. He was so grateful. Our Christmas tradition with my little family is they have to open a Jesus present first and this year they got the little people nativity. We then talk about the true meaning of Christmas and what Christ did for us. Bryan and I started this tradition when we had Parker. We wanted the to remember on Christmas what it really is about!!! They loved the nativity, but then it was time to start opening the presents. After we opened presents we went to Bryan's grandmas to have breakfast and then over to the Jorgensen's to open presents with them. The also spoil us and the kids. We then head to my parents house and spend the rest of the day with them and my siblings. I love it. I didn't take pictures at my parents. Next year I promise I will. Instead of the traditional Christmas dinner we always eat sukiyaki a Japanese food (My dad served his mission in Japan). I love Christmas I am so grateful for the Savior and the love he has for me and my family.
