Christmas Break

We did lots of fun stuff during Christmas break this year. We started it all off by taking a trip to Temple Square to see the lights.

For Christmas Eve this year, we went to my sister's new house to celebrate with Grandma Julie and Grandpa Gene. We also got to talk to my brother, Shay, who will be coming home from his mission in June. The kids made a gingerbread house together. They decided that they were a little hungry and ate it.

We acted out the nativity together. I was the donkey. Hallie played the part of Mary. Gavin was Joseph, and Bryant and Cailyn both wanted to be shepherds. Cailyn decided to alter the story a little and rode the donkey with Mary to Bethlehem.

We spent Christmas Day with most of Mike's family.

The kids loved sitting at the kid table with Aunt Tricia and Aunt Jenny for Christmas brunch.

Hallie wore her favorite new moon shoes all day long.

There was a lot of Wii playing on Christmas day.

Mike and Aunt Tricia took the kids sledding at the golf coarse while Cameron and I took a much needed nap. It was a great Christmas this year!
