Christmas Times!

We had a pretty laid back Christmas because of this cute little babe- trying to keep away from the germs of the season!

But, it wasn't bad- it was kind of nice to take it easy and not try to hit every party and every event going on around town.  There's lots of years ahead to do that.

One of main problems we had, though, was trying to decide which beautiful Christmas dress Afton should wear every Sunday.  She has so many!

And she looks cute in all of them- Pretty girl!

The Sunday before Christmas (Actually Weston's birthday) Ani and Afton wore their matching dresses from Grandma Largey- I love that Anika's is SO fluffy. She was just a big ball of tulle and satin!

On Christmas Eve we went to Largey's for dinner and a Christmas program.  Afton was Mary and Nicholas was Joseph. I must say, I think they were the cutest ones I've ever seen.  After we finished the Nativity, they continued to stay in character and I could hear them walking around in the other room, knocking on walls saying "What? No room? Oh, okay."  :)

Love Nick's eyes in this...

Of course, we also opened new Christmas jammies, too!  All these snuggly kids on Christmas Eve? I love it!  Anika, slept all through the festivities but when we got home, she woke up and got her jams on too.

The kids were good to let us sleep in until 6am and then we could finally go see our presents- yay!  Zach makes fun of me for being so excited, but I love it!

Anika's first Christmas!

Everyone was blinded by the light... but we opened some great things- I got a bluray player from Zach, he got new pillows and towels, Weston got an Mp3 player, Hyrum got a new coat and basketball, Afton got her 'pink girl computer that works' and Anika got the Little People Princess set.

One of my favorite things we've been doing the last couple years is making all the presents to each other-  Hyrum and Weston made finger puppets for Ani, Weston made a matching game for Afton, Afton made some cool t-shirts with stickers and bleach for the boys, and I helped Ani make matching p.j. bottoms for all the kids.

We showered, dressed, played and ate until 9:30, then we headed to Maama and Pa's to open more awesome presents (Hyrum:air copter, Weston: Easy bake Oven, Afton: Doc McStuffins doctor kits, Anika: high chair, Pyrex pan, gift card-sonic and Outback) and eat brunch (ham, cranberry, avocado, honeymustard sandwiches,mmm.)    We headed home to take naps and then went to Largey's for MORE presents and dinner...We were so blessed this year!
