Cameron, Emma and I got to go to Carey and be there for the Christmas Eve and Christmas Day festivities for the first time! I finally didn't have to work, yeah! So here are some of our pictures in completely random order ( I still don't know how to get them in the order I want them). Enjoy!
We have a tradition to open new PJ's on Christmas Eve and this year I also enclosed "Twas the Night Before Christmas" book. In my family my dad recites it every Christmas Eve, this was the first Christmas Eve I have missed at my parents house and was a little sad about it. I wanted Emma to know how important traditions are to me and I want to keep this on going with her.
Cam's family puts on the nativity scene with the kids. Emma was suppose to be Mary but refused, not to mention it was like 9:30 p.m. (was past her bedtime!) I love that Aaron was the donkey, and don't ask where Lee Jay's pants are!
Mary and Joseph.
Rachel was a beautiful angel.
Sledding behind the pickup. Emma kept wanting "another turn"
But she definetly preferred to go with dad!
My mom and dad came over to our house the Sunday before to exchange gifts. Emma loves her Nana and Papa. Thanks for everything guys!
Cam and Emma playing in our first snow of the year!
Christmas morning! She LOVES the dollhouse furniture Grandma and Grandpa gave her!
Lee and Sandy's kids gave them a trip to Nauvoo, I hope they are excited, and have fun planning the upcoming trip!
One of the many presents Christmas morning!
This is Terea's gag gift from James. There is actually a beautiful picture of the Bountiful Temple (where they got married!) underneath. Those Cook's they are such jokers.
Emma opening Kelly and Tyrel's gift. She has been playing with those cookie cutters none stop, I am going to have to wash them before we actually use them to make cookies and get all the play-doh off.
Opening her stocking and her "Gymbo" doll.
Okay, I think this pic is so cute! Rachel got a new bike. Don't worry about her face she just had a sledding accident the day before we came, she is all right and was very brave!
Another, less cute, picture of the accident. Poor Rachel!
First morning pic, puffy eyes and all. Corbin, Alyssa and Rachel had to wait for Emma to wake up to open presents, sorry kids!
Her Christmas Eve PJ's, so warm and cozy!
My adorable Emma Jane!
