Christmas 2011

We got to spend Christmas with Justin's family this year.  Everyone in his family was here minus Sarah and Michael who are on missions.

 

We had a traditional cream cheese chicken dinner on Christmas Eve.  Then we acted out the nativity, watched the nativity and read from the Bible.  We also wrote a letter to Santa, burned it and scattered the ashes in the snow (a King family tradition).  Emme had a lot of fun.  I love that Justin's family has so many traditions!

We also set out cookies and milk for Santa and sugar and carrots for his reindeer.  It is fun now that she is old enough to understand Christmas better.

Santa always leave presents and stockings on the couch at Justin's house.  It was so much fun to watch Emme find her stocking.  Emme's is the one with the doll and Charlie's is the one with the bear.

 

They both got so many presents.  Here is Emme with her ABC puzzle and new baby bottles, and Charlie with his 1st toothbrush and his bear that "Santa's Elf" made for him.

Emme spent a lot of the morning shooting her Uncle Brandon's Nerf gun.  She almost always made this face when she pulled the trigger!
