Christmas Highlights

We had such a wonderful holiday. There are just too many pictures to choose from so here are the few that we'd like to share.

We did many holiday crafts. Here is Saylor with two of her friends.

Here is Michael's school nativity. Mike got to be a sheep with floppy ears (He is on the top row with white on his head and his hand at his mouth)

Here is Saylor's class at their "Winter Fun Party!"

The temple was beautiful and we (Jer and I) were especially touched by a photographic display they had of some moments from the Savior's life.

Here we are being silly with friends.

Our ward had a Nativity at the Christmas party and Saylor wanted to be Mary so bad so we let her be Mary after church the next day. She pretended to be Mary for hours.

On Christmas Eve we acted out the Nativity at home. It went pretty well until our little Joseph decided he would rather take care of the baby instead of Mary.

It was still a sweet experience.

Here is Christmas morning. It was so fun to see how excited the children were.

Jer with one of his three lame gifts (poor guy)

Michael was SOOO excited about this truck. It was adorable.

Saylor wanted to just keep opening gifts all day long. Cute.

I'm not sure if Eowyn even got to open any of her own gifts but she did not seem to care. Sweet!

We feel very blessed for such a beautiful Christmas Season.
