Christmas Eve we ate yummy homemade chicken noodle soup, then reenacted the nativity. Emma was Mary. Adele was a lamb (she totally mastered the Baaaa). Ammon was the narrator. And I was everything else. We then "gave gifts to Jesus" by writing down ways we could be better next year.
We then opened jammies and family gifts, read Christmas stories, and jumped into bed before Santa arrived.
Emma awoke first on Christmas morning, and was the one to break through the wrapping paper Santa left. Adele awoke shortly after...totally dazed and confused. Emma loved every gift from Santa, and even helped Adele open her gifts.
After presents, Ammon made crepes and and gave us all gifts. It was a fabulous morning!! So glad we decided to be together this year. We are hoping to make a tradition out of it! 🎄

Looks like a perfect Christmas! Since moving to AZ. 4 years ago we've always had Christmas as a little family and I convinced Loren to go visit family in UT. next year for a change of pace. Bad thing is it's 12 hours of driving which is why we always go in the summer but we need to see snow once in a while too! Sometimes I feel too young to be the Mom who makes the huge holiday meals...everyone else is lounging at their Mom's house doing nothing and I'm in the kitchen all day! Momma needs a break
