New Year's Eve

 

Christmas Day

The girls woke up about 730 and climbed in bed with us. We snuggle them for as long as we could but they were so excited to go look under the tree. They open their stockings then I had a cinnamon roll. Then we let them open the rest.

Lagoon passports, basketball, stick horses, hatchimals.

We made some lunch and the girls played. After we cleaned up my parents and Tegan left for home. Charli and I took a nap. Then we had more fun on the four wheeler until the sun went down. We had a relaxing lazy day. Kam and Kyle stopped by Christmas night. And we hung our last Christ ornament.

Christmas Eve

First we met my parents, Tegan, Kam and Kyle at Takara for lunch. Afterword everyone came out to our house and Jake pulled us around on the sleds behind the four wheeler. 

We opened the sibling gifts before Kamryn and Kyle went to Richmond. I had Tegan‘s name and I had a book made of all of her mission emails and pictures. I was so excited to give it to her and she loved it! 

We got everything ready for dinner,  more food than I have ever seen. We got into our matching jammies, took some group pictures and silly videos. Then Jake set off a “globo” (floating lantern) for us outside. It was so beautiful.

We hung two more of our Christ-centered ornaments and then watched videos of the nativity and crucifixion.

We let the girls all sleep in our room that night. It took awhile to settle them down because they were so excited! The best part of Christmas is our children.

Christmas Sunday

We enjoyed a beautiful Christmas program and sacrament meeting. Later that evening we made sugar cookies and let the girls decorate.

Jayli’s school program and party

Jayli  did an awesome job singing and her Christmas program at school. And I got to help with her class party. So Kynli and Charli got to come too!

Temple lights

Joy and Santa

We got to visit Santa again at freckle Farm with Capri. And our elf Joy was less mischievous this year and more Christ centered.
