Did anyone else feel that way?
Our Christmas was very lovely! We stayed home for a lot of it.
The Monday before Christmas we invited my sisters and their families and my parents over and we re-enacted the Nativity Story while reading it from the Scriptures. It was GREAT! And finally brought the "Christmas Spirit" to our home. It was very wonderful and I think definitely to become a Christmas Tradition!

| Aurora, Rayann and Olivia were the 3 Wise Men. Felicity doubled as the Inn-Keeper and a shepherd. Gage was a Shepherd. Emmalynn was Mary, Adam was Joseph and Luana was our Angel. So Cute! |
 |
| Aaaand the handsome looking shepherd in the back is our "Ben Burgundy" LOL! I'll write more on that later |
Christmas Eve we went out to my parents for our annual Christmas snack/appy dinner. Dustin brought his homemade sausage rolls and we had an awesome time! The kiddo's opened their jammies that night.
 |
| Adam's Jammies matched Dustin's |
 |
| ... and Caleb's matched mine. |
 |
| I just want to say... those are some nice jammies! I made them myself and they were fancy and I didn't get any help. *toots own horn* |
Christmas Morning Adam and Caleb both slept in until 8:30! Sweet! Dustin and I were up waay before them! It's tradition to open our stockings first!
 |
| Adam got a jar of Cheez Whiz in his stocking from Santa. Which was his most talked about gift. So I'm going to say he liked that the best! Hahaha |
My Favourite Gift from Dustin was a Cross-stitch of a Peacock... can't wait to get working on it. I'm powering through the one that I'm working on right now so that I can move on to the Peacock. It's gorgeous!
I got Dustin an all in one Breakfast Sandwich maker and we ate Breakfast Sandwiches all day Boxing Day! So Delish!
THE BEST PART OF CHRISTMAS DAY:
Going on Skype to talk to my Brother who is serving a mission for our church in Peru. He'll be gone for 2 years. First time he's been away for Christmas. So it was sooo great to be able to talk to him. He bore his testimony of the Gospel in Spanish: the language he's had to learn since being out there. It was indescribable to be able to talk to my little brother. Love him! So proud of him!

It was a glorious season... spent doing the things we love best. Spending time with Family and Friends and remembering the Birth of Our Savior, Jesus Christ. The Video above shares the Best Gift of the season.
