Christmas (part 2)

 Christmas Eve- Reading and acting out the Nativity story from the Bible. Kali as Mary, Zach as Joseph and a shepherd, and of course our little Angel Madelyn who took her role very seriously. haha! The kids had fun performing for Grandma and Grandpa Stacy :) 
 Just had to document my kids amazing stockings that were made by their awesome Grandma Stacy! Seriously AMAZING! LOVE them! Thank you so much Grandma!! 
Christmas Eve Pajamas! Who doesn't have this tradition? It's the BEST! Love my cute kiddos! 
 

Christmas morning- Madelyn couldn't believe that Santa ate the Oreo truffles all gone! haha! And Kali was so excited to get a personally autographed picture from Santa himself (she wrote a note to Santa the night before asking him for a picture of himself...haha!!) 






We really enjoyed our Christmas morning together with the kids and Grandma and Grandpa Stacy, and Uncle Jeremy and Tank. After yummy cinnamon rolls for breakfast we headed to church and enjoyed a really nice Sacrament meeting. It was so nice to have church on Christmas Day and to really focus on our Savior's birth and life and the true meaning of Christmas. I actually directed the choir for the special music and they did an amazing job and I really felt it bring the spirit to the meeting. After church we headed home and the craziness began!....
 Not long after we got home Zach decided to pull out his other top tooth!! WOAH! ...hence the paper towel in his mouth in the next couple pics! haha! Sheila and Jeff and their clan arrived and the present opening began!!

Enjoying our AMAZING Steak dinner from Grandpa Stacy!  SO YUMMY!!

AND we can't forget....Happy 81st Birthday to Grandpa Hobbs! How cool to share your birthday with the Savior :) 
It was so fun to have all the family at our house this year. It made for a very crazy fun and pleasant Christmas! We are so grateful for our Savior and his life and example to us. We are truly blessed in so many ways! We hope all of our friends and family had a very Merry Christmas too!!

I am so sad we missed Christmas with you guys! Last year was all weird (and fun) because we were all in Houston together. But before that we always spent at least part of Christmas together, and I really missed you guys this year! Looks like you all had fun though!

And I can't believe how grownup your kids look already, just in six months. I just want to kiss Lilly, she is such a doll! You better start planning your trip out to see us! We miss you so much! Love you!
