Christmas 2008

Taylor told us that she wasn't going to be afraid of Santa this year...and she did great! She did look a little nervous but she even told him what she wanted for Christmas, much better then the screaming fiasco we had last year!

So, Callie wasn't stoked about Santa but at least she wasn't screaming!

Before we left for Colorado, we decided to have our own Christmas at home. It was fun but I think Taylor is going to expect 2 Christmases next year!









We spent Christmas Eve at Tina's parents house and in keeping with tradition, acted out the nativity. Brandon was put in charge of scripting the story. Taylor was really excited to be Mary this year and took her role very seriously!



Callie was supposed to be a sheep but preferred to play with this sheer robe the whole time!



Everyone was throwing arrows (straws) and stones (crumpled up pieces of paper) at Samuel the Lamanite. The kids loved it!
It was kind of chaotic but fun none the less!

When the 3 wise men came to visit...



We drove down to Colorado Springs late on Christmas Eve so we could be at Brandon's Parents house for the morning. Nana made matching outfits for all her Grandkids... aren't they cute?!



Taylor and Abbie loved playing girlie stuff together!
