Our Christmas

Here is our Christmas in a nutshell(hopefully).  We started with "Christmas Eve" at Chris and Sara's house the Sunday before Christmas.

 So much good food, it was hard to wait for the prayer and for all the kids to go through the line.  Stephanie and I may or may not have eaten a few veggie pizza pieces before it was time to eat.

 I got to hold baby Logan for a little bit, but even better was visiting with his mom, Kristy, while he ate.

 After eating it was time for the Nativity.  Nobody got pictures of my family(my own fault for not bringing my camera) so I had to grab some stills from the video.

 Brigham consented to dressing up like a shepherd.  I told him to go look at the baby, so he did and then came right back to sit on my lap.

 We also opened cousin presents and it was pretty chaotic.

Chris' house is fun.

On Christmas Eve we spent the afternoon with Jaaromy's family at Lyenna and Kelcey's house.  It was a nice casual visit.  We exchanged a few presents and had good food.

 I didn't bring my camera but did get this cute picture of Teagen and Nathaniel.

 ...and this cute one of Jaaromy's parents.  It was a good visit and this was the only time we were getting together for Christmas so we made the most of it.

That night we were able to just hang out at home.  We watched Christmas videos and ate Cinnamon rolls.  Before bed the boys opened their new pajamas.

So excited for tomorrow!

Christmas morning was great.  The boys are so nice to let us sleep.  They stayed in their rooms until we came to get them around nine.

 I thought I'd just check to make sure Santa came.

 Waiting for the All Clear.  What did Santa bring?

 A new motherboard, finally!

 Fun toys!

 A color cube!  He loves this and takes it to bed with him every night.

 Space Toob!  He got some cool space toys and a Lego Space Needle.

 Brigham liked his new car play mat.

 The boys tried out the new banana chairs from Grandma and Grandpa.  These will come in handy.

Then we went upstairs to open presents from each other.

 Jonathan gave Brigham a cool race track.

 Nathaniel gave Jonathan an Angry Birds in Space game.  He mostly likes to play with the different birds.

 Nathaniel got a cool iphone controlled helicopter.

And finally, the game Nathaniel had been so anxious to play: Minecraft.  The boys had a lot of fun giving it a try.

After the fun we went to my parent's house for cinnamon rolls, scrambled eggs, and eggnog.  The best meal of the year.  Last year they were gone and we had to make do without them.  I'm so glad they're home and that we could enjoy my mom's amazing cinnamon rolls again.

It was a good Christmas.
