Random Pictures of Our Christmas

Yes, Bronwyn IS crying. She's a little emotional in the morning generally because she's hungry. And if her morning routine is abnormal.

See! She's happy now because she has candy in one hand and a backpack on her back that's just like Aftyn's.

Thanks Kamber for this unknown gift you gave when you gave us matching sheets for the girls. The sheets came in these nifty little drawstring bags, and well, I added some straps and their initial in fabric and wa-la! Backpacks! Just like Daddy's!! :)

It snowed lightly Christmas morning. And then promptly melted by afternoon.

We had to forego opening presents until we got some food in those little bellies. There was much crankiness by the child in the middle who is now beaming at the camera. Reed was very obliging and whipped up a hearty breakfast of pancakes and eggs and turkey bacon!

Their big gifts, the shopping cart and the activity chair. Both given to us! :) The kids don't care that they've been previously loved, they love them just the same.

Daddy had to show the girls how to properly fly their airplane with sounds. :)

Thanks Uncle Kevin and Aunt Kim! Aftyn LOVES her dress ups! Bronwyn really likes the crown and scepter. Mommy really likes the trunk to keep it all in. :)

So EXCITED!

The first thing she wanted to do was curtsy. This girl loves to curtsy. :)

These pictures do not properly represent all the amazing gifts we were given this year. We felt so spoiled and loved this year and are grateful for all who helped us to feel that way.

My favorite part of our Christmas morning was when we took our break for breakfast, we watched the Christmas story that is put out by the LDS church. Aftyn has been watching it incessantly for weeks now and loved watching it that morning as well. I love how seriously she takes the story of Jesus into her heart. She loves to re-enact the stable with Mary and Joseph and baby Jesus over and over and over every day lately. She wraps her baby in "swaddling clothes" and puts him/her in "the manger". What a sweetheart.
