Christmas 2008

I never got around to really sharing our christmas experiences. Plus I want to remember how this last year was with the kids and everything. Mayley is 2 1/2 and Hunter was 17 months. Christmas day was spent with my family. It was such a fun year to see the kids open up their presents. Once they opened them they wanted to stick to that same toy. Christmas is such a peaceful and exiting holiday. Definently one of my favorites. I love all the decorations, the food, the smells, the lights, the parties, & the family time you get to spend with one another too. Christmas was a blizzard outside all day so we played the WII and ate lots of yummy food. We watched movies inside and played with the kids.

Ali is such a cute aunt to mayley and hunter. Mayley was soooo thrilled to get a princess calendar!



Santa brought the kids power wheels bikes. The kids rode around on them all day long. They are a blast to have!!


Christmas Eve we spent with the Call family. We dress up and listen to Luke 2 and 3 Nephi in the book of mormon of Jesus' Birth. Bry's mom found these cool painted sheep and horses to use as a nativity background. The kids loved it. We also eat pizza by candlelight and we opened lots of fun presents.






All the girls in their new jammies that grandma and grandpa bought for them.
We all dress up in funny clothes to pretend like we are part of the natvity scene as well.

Mayley and Hunter had fun playing in the snow on Christmas eve!!
