Christmas Adam and Eve

I love Christmas trees lit up in the dark.  They make me feel peaceful. Here's our Blue tree (our old, smaller tree, which has become a BYU tree!) in the front room, and our big colorful tree covered in a variety of ornaments in the family room.

Gingerbread making! This was actually the day before Christmas Adam.  On Christmas Adam the big kids and Eric went skiing.

This was the first time Emma has really decorated her whole house, it was way cute!

Maris was especially proud of her Mint Mnm fence.

Also shout-out to the cute countdown Grammy made with the kids when we got to see her after Thanksgiving. It cute-ed up the laundry room, and was a fun surprise every day.

Christmas Eve we got to have Grandma and Grandpa and Lauren and Kurtis over! It was fun to act out the Nativity.  Here's Mary and Joseph in the stable.

Angel surprising the shepherds:

Shepherds worshiping and the Holy Family,

And our 4 wise men bringing their gifts.

And that was our Christmas Eve.  Plus the part where Emma fell asleep at 7pm and woke up chipper at 10!  Making last-minute preparations very difficult....  She finally went back to sleep at 12:30am!  A Crazy Christmas Eve for mom and dad haha.
