We were able to spend time with Dave's grandpa and extended family Christmas Eve afternoon. It was wonderful to sing songs and hear grandpa talk about memories.
This year we were with Dave's family for Christmas Eve night. We enjoyed being with family some more! We had a wonderful dinner before acting out the nativity.
Aliyah got to be the angel.
We began reading the scriptures and acting out what took place. When Aliyah had some little fit and decided to lay on the ground for the rest of the "production." So instead of the angel being above the and calling out glad tidings, our little angel was lying on the floor and crying. It is reasons like these that we keep doing the nativity…you never know what you'll get!
Our tree.
All Aliyah wanted from Santa was 2 Candy Canes…luckily he brought a little bit more. We have a hard time not spoiling Aliyah. She is just too cute and gets so excited--especially over the simple things.
We went to my parents house for Christmas day--good people and good food. The holidays never last long enough, but it sure does wear us out!
I love Christmas. It is my favorite holiday, not because of getting gifts, but because of the general feelings of love and excitement throughout the month.
