Christmas Highlights!

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. For Christmas Eve, we had all the kids dress up as Nativity characters and then they acted it out. We had a lesson about the Good Shepherd and then we sang Christmas songs using hand bells that Grandma Pam sent us. The kids loved it. We ended the evening with a gift exchange game.

Christmas day was nice and relaxing. We opened presents and ate a delicious breakfast. I even got a nap! What a great day! We had the best Christmas dinner...we felt like kings and queens. We had prime rib, crab, lobster, mashed potatoes, and homemade rolls.

Little Anna gave us the biggest laugh of the day. She was munching on a treat that she had found. It looked kind of like a biscotti to me...she ate about half of it. A little later, my mom asked where the dog biscuit was for my brother's dog. Apparently my mom filled a stocking for his dog and the big dog biscuit was missing. We realized that Anna had found it and eaten it. What a funny girl!

What a fun Christmas! I wish I could have been in Idaho to see you, but I had to stay in Utah and chill with the crazy in-laws. Your kids are the cutest!
