Christmas In Focus

Christmas Eve pizza party at the Morrison's!



 Santa Came To Visit!
 Beautiful Amy and her kids singing Christmas carols
 Santa gave the kids bears. Incidentally Cody had randomly asked Santa for a bear once this year. Perfect.
 I got a camera for Christmas (delta failed me)! I had really been thinking about it anyway, but this sealed the deal. My pictures seem to be less blurry since this one can capture more with less lighting (aka a flash:)) (and we need a ladder to change some lightbulbs and don't have one...) Mackayla wants it all the time.


 Ben said they always got sugar cereal on Christmas and this year we did that. It was a hit.

 Macey asked santa for a bike. This is her "biiiiig bike"
 Cody actually got a remote control dinosaur. Santa really can make anything.

 Mackayla got a couple stuffed animal dogs, necklaces, and a ball and other toys. 


 Window paint was also a good idea.


 We had a relaxing Christmas day and then headed over to the Conley's for a yummy dinner. They got a ham from Fred Meyer. Who knew? It is easily the best ham I've ever had.
We talked about gifts we could give to Jesus with our kids on Christmas eve, although not nearly enough after a long day and a really fun party. Next year, right? A gift of mine was to finish the Book of Mormon Christmas eve day. It just worked out perfectly that way. It was a good way to keep the meaning of Christmas in focus and 'keep Christ in Christmas'.
