Christmas

Again these pictures are all out of order, but oh, well.

Usually Christmas is pretty straightforward: we spend the early morning at our own house, the late morning with Alan's family, and the afternoon with my family. However, Christmas was a little different this year with everybody having church. We played with our Santa presents before Church, went to Sacrament Meeting at 9:00, opened our Christmas tree presents and presents from my parents after church, then spent the early afternoon with the Stouts, then back to my parents house for dinner.

Christmas dinner. Everything was so good!!

More Christmas dinner.

Jared and Grandpa Stout. Grandpa likes to tell Jared tall tales. Ha ha!

Maggie's new dress from Alan's parents! I think she looks like a snow princess.

This was taken right after church on Christmas day.

Maggie's Christmas dress from my parents was so darling! And Jared's sweater is from Alan's parents. I love getting new church clothes for the kids!

Maggie's new Elmo kitchen from Santa

Jared's crash cars from Santa

Santa, I think, knew that Jared would really like the big present he was bringing Maggie, but he thought it would be a good opportunity for Jared to practice sharing with Maggie. This video shows evidence of how much Jared likes the Elmo's Restaurant (which is technically Maggie's), but he also LOVES the crash cars from Santa (which are his own). Alan and I also gave the kids some fun Melissa & Doug wooden play food to "share."
