What a wonderful Christmas!

We had such an amazing holiday season this year! I love Christmas and the wonderful spirit that it brings. It seems like everyone is a little merrier this time of year! This year we were able to go with some of our friends to this incredible live nativity scene in Alpine. It was awesome and the kids had a really good time. We were also able to visit Santa and his reindeer, see some lights, and all the other really fun stuff that comes around this time of year. I love the stage that my kids are in and how excited they get about things, I know it won't last forever but a part of me wishes that it will!


all of "the gang" at the nativity scene. So cold but well worth it!


The Nativity scene had lots of live animals. I'd never seen a real camel before. They're huge!


Visiting with Santa. Mckell asked for baby dolls and Brigham asked for a race set. Both of them just lit up when they saw Santa!


After visiting with Santa we got to see some of his reindeer


Taking a break and giving dad a workout! Jeremy could do a lot of push ups with the kids on his back. I won't tell you what happened when I jumped on.


Mckell showing off some of her dance moves


On Christmas Eve Jeremy and some of his brothers took the boys to Utah Lake to do some dry ice bombs,lot's of fun but no pictures sorry. Mckell stayed home with me and we made some cookies for Santa


My little baker!


These are the cookies that Mckell made for Santa all by herself! Believe me if you know her then you know that she likes to do things by herself and doesn't like any help! Don't they look yummy!? Well Santa liked them, he ate them all gone!


Opening up presents at Grandmas on Christmas Eve. We had such a great time! I just love our family!


All the grandkids (and Cailey) with their new jammies.


Grandma and Grandpa gave everyone Wii's for Christmas. We are all super excited about it!


OK this was a funny one. My mom gave Mckell this life size doll and she loves it! The car ride home was a little awkward. It reminded me of junior high stag dances.


We spent Christmas Day opening presents, visiting with my mom and then we went to Jeremy's parents for a huge Christmas brunch. We all ate way to much but we had so much fun together. I think the traditions that we have are so important and I look forward to them every year. On Christmas we were surrounded by the ones that we love and it doesn't get any better than that! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
