We had a wonderful Christmas. We stayed home and enjoyed a very nice family day. We always have a big breakfast and have to clean up before the gifts are attacked. It's my favorite tradition and the kids were really good about waiting. (How mean am I... they even had to make their beds and get ready for the day first).
Madi, Brooke, Ben and Connor under ready to open gifts.
All the kids watched Daddy open his gift. (They were so good about keeping this Christmas secret). I had been working on scrap booking Brett's missionary pictures for two months. I am so surprised that not even Ben spilled the beans. It was one of the few gifts (in the history of our married life) that I managed to surprise him with AND that he actually liked!
The day ended with our little Connor taking his first step!
We also had our own Christmas pageant. Its so fun to have kids old enough to actually do one now.

Brooke was the angel... Ben kept changing his mind between wanting to be Joseph and a shepherd with me...
Madi was Marry and Connor ended up being Joseph... although he kept climbing onto the "manger" and upsetting "Mary."
