Catching Up...Christmas Part One

Since things are now slowing down, I can catch up on my holiday blogging! We had a WONDERFUL holiday which was filled with friends and family. How fun!! Here we go:

I always feel like the real holiday starts with my B-day on the 20th. I had a great B-day. Brad got me the creche that goes with my nativity scene and some cute boots. We celebrated by going to see Seven Pounds and eating at Market Street grill. Thanks to the Plummers for watching Coop!




That next day I headed up to Logan to spend some more time with my family and Michelle while she is in Utah. We had a busy couple of days getting ready for the Christmas season. While I was there my family had a fondue dinner for my belated B-day. It was great. They also gave me some great presents. Thanks fam!



Christmas Eve was spent with the Rich fam and we had such a great time!! We started the celebration off with a great meal. Carol always has the tables set so cute and the food was wonderful. Thanks Carol!! Of course we had some great games and then it was on to the nativity. This is a tradition each year at the Rich family. It's so fun to see everyone in their cute costumes. Brad and I got in on the action this year as Joseph and Mary. Suprisingly there were no babies this year and since Coop was the youngest boy he was also "baby" Jesus again.

He did great at first...



And then he started to get a little antsy...




He was pretty happy in Mary's robes




We ended the evening with our Christmas PJs. This is such a fun tradition. We had a struggle getting a good shot...but at least Brad looks good. Coop didn't think posing for pictures while his cousins were around was that great of an idea.




We had a great time and it was so good to see everyone!
