Christmas!!!

Oh, how we love Christmas!!  It is so much fun with little ones, and seems to get better each year as they understand it more.  Christmas Eve we spent with Megan's parents and her sister, Tiana. We had an amazing meal (made by Tiana of course).  Grandma dressed up Payton and Emma as Joseph and Mary.  They thought it was really cool, and were so cute!

Christmas morning was so exciting to see what Santa had brought.  We made the kids sit for a picture before they could dig in, this is the best we could get (I can't blame them).
Emma got one of Megan's dolls from when she was a kid.  She LOVED it and was so excited (so was Megan).
Payton got a matching tie with his Daddy, he thought that was super cool!
It is so much fun having a kid who can write. Way to use up all the space and squeeze that last letter in there!
The wrapping paper pile is almost as fun as the new gifts!  Almost.
After our house we went over to Grandma and Papa's to have the traditional breakfast of whole wheat pancakes, bacon, and eggs. Love it!
Later that day we went to the Haroldsen's with the whole family and continued the Christmas festivities there!



We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year!

December

We started off December writing letters to Santa.  This was a first for us and was a lot of fun, the kids were so excited.  They had fun drawing pictures of what they wanted.
We made a visit to Temple Square to see the lights. It was quite chilly, but well worth it! So beautiful!!  
We rode Trax downtown, the kids thought this was just as cool as seeing the lights.
Payton really liked the tree with all the orange lights, go figure!
We made lots of Christmas goodies for our neighbors.  The kids really liked "helping" Megan by cleaning off the spatula.
