Christmas!

I finally downloaded our pictures so I can post about Christmas. We had a quiet Christmas Eve. Just our family. We did our little traditions of having Mexican food, reading the Christmas Story and opening one gift each (at least the girls did) The highlight of the night was after we read we asked the girls what part of the story stuck out to them the most - what meant the most. We all shared and it was so tender to hear them share their ever growing testimonies of Jesus Christ.

Livie and Maya waiting to open their Christmas eve gift.

2 of my sweet girls.
As usual they opened up pj's. (They tease me that every year I wrap them the same way. I roll them up and tie the ends like candy. Here they are in their jams along with a new game to play (after McKenna goes to bed, of course.)

These jammies were crazy. They were little tops with tight sleeves and the pants were giant. Here's Maya and Livie modeling how they truly fit. Notice how high the waist is. (What can you expect for $5 jams at Walmart.)

Christmas morning

Tim opening his gift from the girls. They all pitched in and got him a Red Sox tie. It's red with the red sox logo in the corner. They were so excited to give it to him. I thought they were going to ruin the surprise. He's sporting the new apron I made him also.

McKenna with her new ironing board. She new exactly what to do with it. Can't wait until she can use a real one.

My mom made her this blanket and this was her reaction. She loved it.

We spent Christmas day playing the

Wii and then went over to our friends, the Eckholdt's but of course forgot to take any pictures while we were there. Since they didn't have much family in town and neither did we, we decided to split the work of the meal and eat together. What fun.
