Christmas Things That Actually Happened At Christmastime!

Merry Utah Christmas! We had a holly jolly Christmas and I was very happy that it snowed a ton! I love snow!

We got caroled to by the Stevenses. They are really good--like with legit harmonies and skilled singers. How nice to be sung to by talented and enthusiastic carolers.

Rachel got stuffed into her stocking by her Oma.

Megan, Zachary, Me, and Rachel in our PJs for the Christmas Eve party. Rachel and Zachary were due at pretty much the same time. I think Rachel was born on his due date, but he went a week late. Now they can be friends! Oh, Megan is Andrew's aunt and Zachary is Andrews cousin! Ha ha...

Going to see the lights at Temple Square. Andrew, me, Rachel (in the pack), Maren, and Wesley.

Merry Christmas! A month late, but, oh well. More pictures from our journey to come, I promise!

It's Christmas! Well, Early Christmas ... Late ...

Hang up the mistletoe... It's Christmas! I hope you, dear reader, are in the holiday spirit, because I am posting some cute Christmas pictures! These are of our little Christmas celebration, which actually happened before Christmas. And I'm posting it late. Therefore it is "Early Christmas... Late..."

Rachel enjoyed looking at the lights on the mini Christmas trees.

Isn't she sweet?

Merry first Christmas Rachel! Time to open your presents from Mom and Dad!

She screamed. Apparently she doesn't like presents.

"WHY DID YOU GIVE ME BOOKS?!?!?!" Such torture to expand one's mind...

Still screaming. Doesn't Andrew looked thrilled about Christmas through a child's eyes?

And that was our at-home Christmas. It was nice. But it really didn't feel very Christmasy. Here in Washington, it is warm and not snowy and we had midget trees. Just something to get used to.

Stay tuned... more Christmas fun is to come! And I will be much quicker getting these up than I have done other posts lately.
