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!

We missed you Christmas Eve Cooks! But we are glad to see that you had fun in Carey! We will have to make a trip in the spring sometime to stay with you in your new fabulous basement! Love & miss you guys!
It looks like you had a great Christmas in Carey. Thanks for sharing the pictures. We missed you guys Christmas eve also. It was different for us, we had no family on Christmas eve. But we made our own traditions and had fun. We will also plan a trip to visit again, but not at the same time as the Nigburs. Hope you are feeling great!
Darling pictures Emily! We missed you guys on Christmas Eve but sharing with the Cooks is only fair. Love, Mom
Cute pictures! I love the last one! It looks like you guys had a super fun Christmas!
Emma is adorable! I love all her pics. It looks like you guys had an awesome Christmas. LOVE the Twilight gift. That is SO funny!
Sounds like a wonderful and busy Christmas...and Emma is so cute. I love her facial expressions because they say so much. :)
I can't believe how big Emma is getting. I talked to Katie the other day and I figured we should try to ditch the kids one night and get everyone together for dinner... Interested.
