We survived our First Christmas away from Idaho with only a couple of breakdowns! We missed our family so much, but Skyping our family in Idaho on Christmas Eve made them seem not so far away! Thanks Lynette for the great idea! We did love being able to spend so much time together just the six of us and we had a wonderful Christmas. We had new traditions, (yes Mom I am attempting to keep up with all YOU did for me!) and we had a great time despite it being so quiet. I LOVE Christmas and wathcing my kids get so excited! The magic of the holiday was certainly present in our home. I LOVE the extra spirit of peace and love as we celebrate the true meaning of Christmas and remember our Savior being born in such humble circumstances. How grateful I am for the gospel, our Savior and my WONDERFUL family that I adore with all my heart!
TJ took on the role of the guitar player for our play. Alan always plays the guitar in Idaho for the play and since we were not there, TJ decided to do it. We HAD to do the play EXACTLY like we do in Idaho, although we were short a few people! Thanks Alana for sending us the outline. TJ did an awesome job!
Tylee was a beautiful Mary and even made this manger! She cut up pieces of paper for the straw and took such great care of the "baby" Jesus!
Sorry this wouldn't rotate! The kids did an awesome job when we read the Christmas Story! Treyson was his usual donkey, Taysha was the angel, Tylee was Mary and TJ was Joseph.
I made ALL the kids sit on Santa's lap! There is this house in Morgantown that goes out of control with lights. It's so big, that you have to get out and walk through it. We found it last year and LOVE visiting it. They have Santa there and he and Mrs. Clause gives out little prizes to all the kids. It truly is amazing and it gets us so excited for the holiday!
This is just a small part of the lights that we walked through at the house. It is AWESOME and we LOVE it!
