Christmas Time!

The week of Christmas we had neighbors bring holiday treats to us which was very nice. At one point last Monday night Santa came to our door unexpected! The neighbor across the street who is in our ward dressed up and visited the children in our ward who live in the neighborhood. It was a nice surprise.

Christmas Eve

This year my mom had to work until 9:00 pm so we invited everyone over to our house for Christmas Eve dinner. Cirdan made us chicken, rice pilaf and green beans. The girls wore their Christmas dresses and I took pictures like always. We ate, visited, watched some Christmas movies, and left some reindeer food outside...

My mom got to our house around 9:30 and a little while later we heard some bells out back. Kaiya went over to the sliding glass door and saw Santa coming down from the woods in the backyard! She was sooooo excited! We invited Santa in and took some pictures with him. He gave Kaiya and Ella a present which was Minnie Mouse pajamas.



Notice...Nathan is missing from the picture below...(kind of)

After Santa left we read the Birth of Jesus in the bible. It was nice to refocus on why we do celebrate Christmas.

My parents and siblings left and it was time to get ready for bed. Kaiya and Ella went to bed and Santa's Elves stayed up till about 3:00 getting ready for Santa to come.
