Christmas in Utah

Since we didn't want to bring all of our Christmas presents out to Colorado this year, we decided to have a Christmas at home before we left. We even called up Santa and he said he would come early for Taylor and Callie...that was sure considerate of him, don't you think? On "Christmas Eve" we acted out the nativity scene, with Brandon as Joseph, Tina as the donkey/wisemen/Shepard, Taylor as Mary, Callie as the Angel, and Beckett as the baby Jesus. We had lots of fun on Christmas morning...Beckett loved playing with the wrapping paper! Brandon made me the frame in the picture below of the kids feet! I love it! A couple days before we left Callie found a bag of foam animal stickers and decorated herself!

Love this video of Taylor opening this present. She had asked for a big Barbie last year but we really didn't want to get it because they cost like 35bucks, they are huge to store, and we figured she would realise quickly that it's not that much fun. So we talked her out of it....we thought! Much to our surprise she asked for it again this year! A neighbor gave us the idea to look on craigs list/ksl for one and wouldn't you know it, there was a my size Barbie for 8 bucks for sale in Spanish Fork! I guess it was meant to be!
