C -- CHRISTMAS

We LOVE Christmastime. We love to decorate our tree, make lots of hot chocolate, and love spending time as a family. We switch off years going from Tif's family in Arizona to Tyler's family in Idaho. At Tif's house it's always wonderful weather. :) We love to spend time outside going to the park, walking around the Temple lights, and playing lots of games.

At Tyler's house we always do a family Nativity on Christmas Eve. The youngest baby is Jesus and the rest of us get to be wise men, Mary and Joseph, and of course all the animals. :) Then, Christmas morning we open presents as a big family. We always go from youngest to oldest and watch everyone open their presents. It's so fun to see our children's faces as they get something new. Just the boxes are exciting! Then we have a BIG breakfast of pancakes, bacon, eggs, hashbrowns and juice. :) Bryson and Maddie love to spend time with their cousins and the adults try to get a few games in when the kids are asleep. :)
