Christmas at Home


Christmas Eve Pictures!


This Christmas was by far my favorite Christmas Eve/Christmas. On Christmas Eve we went to the annual Kanosh Christmas program. It was really good. They read the Nativity story from the scriptures and the Primary children sang Christmas songs throughout the program. At the end Sabree, Luke and I sang the Nativity Song from the Primary Children's Song Book. We all sang the 1st and 3rd verse together, Sabree sang the 2nd and 4th verse alone and on the 5th verse Luke and I sang the 1st two lines and Sabree ended with the last two lines. She was incredible. There were very few dry eyes in the audience. Her voice was so sweet! I was so proud of her. After the spiritual part of the program Santa Clause came. After sitting on his lap we came home, played games as a family then emptied Christ's stocking and read all the acts of service that we performed throughout the month. After reading scriptures the kids went to bed, Luke and I played more games, wrapped presents and of course didn't make it to bed until about 1:00 a.m. The kids were up by about 6:00 and sent back to bed until about 6:45.

Christmas morning was perfect. The kids absolutely loved their gifts. I really enjoyed only having three gifts for each child. They really appreciated the gifts and actually spent time playing with all of them instead of being overwhelmed with gifts! It was great! Here are some pictures of the kiddos!

I made pajama bottoms for the kids. Cute girls!
