I am going to go back a little to Christmas Eve because we had such a great night. This is the first year we have been all by ourselves for Christmas. We didn’t really want to spend it all by ourselves so we went and crashed at the Johnson Family’s house. And we had a blast!
The kids acted out the nativity while Adam read it from the scriptures. It was so funny to see the kids want to be certain people and then want to switch half way through the play. It did not go perfect (gosh how could it with 10 kids 10 and under!) but it was so fun.
Here is Mary, Joseph, and the shepards. Yes, that is a tinker bell Shepard! 
Here’s the gang including sweet Lauren girl being a sheep, and a teddy bear that was a gift to baby Jesus!
And here’s everybody!
Each child opened a present, which was pj’s. This is a really cute tradition that I think we will continue. So here is everyone in their new jammies. 
Thanks Mom for the cute pj’s! Ariana’s were a bit too big. She looked like she was walking on her knees all night! It was cute, cute, cute!
After tons more fun and yummy food we went home around 1:00 am and put out milk and cookies for Santa. Zoe even wrote him and note thanking him for all the presents and telling him to have a good Christmas. Ammon made the green placemat in school especially for Santa’s cookies!
Finally Adam and I made it too bed at 3:00 am. This is what it looked like after Santa came!

Sounds like you guys had the BEST Christmas. For the children to be so patient to just unwrap one presnet at a time was incredible. Thanks for sharing so we could imagine that we were there with you. Love you all. Gramma.
