I know it is February but I have to at least post about Christmas for my own record.
Mid-December family started arriving in Utah to visit for the holidays. We loved having Vance, Lisa, and Lincoln stay with us.
Kayla pretending to be part of the "Bance and Lisa" family.
We bundled up to see the lights at Temple Square.
Kayla had so much fun running around with her cousin Mason.
The Sunday before Christmas "Family Picture by the Tree". Yes, there is a tree behind us, it is just small and I took the star off for my Church lesson that day.
We were able to have "Christmas" with my side of the family before heading to Las Vegas. We had a candle light dinner, nativity and gift exchange. We were missing Jennifer and Steve and families but 13 out of 15 is not bad. After dinner, I asked Kayla what she wanted to be in the nativity and she said "the Star". Not expecting that, we created a "star" costume. Vance even climbed up on a ladder to get the star off of my Mom's 12 foot Christmas tree!
The Cast
The never dull, Murray nativity 2010. It was fun to have Lincoln play baby Jesus this year and he slept through it all.
Avely with Aunt Becky opening her first Christmas present ever. Doesn't she look excited! After this picture she grabbed the present and tried to eat it.
Kayla received a battery operated toothbrush from her cousins which she loves.
It was so fun to watch the cousins exchange gifts and give each other hugs. I truly felt the Christmas spirit watching them get so excited to give the gifts they had picked out.
The before...
...and the after. I love it! Next Post: Christmas in Las Vegas
