Christmas parties

We had some fun Christmas Parties this year. The first was our ward Christmas party. It was really fun, and they had a photographer in our ward set up to do this awesome Santa Photos for us. We downloaded ours but then our computer crashed and we lost them so thankfully we had this one we took on our camera. It is not nearly as cute as the other ones but it will do. Kai was excited to see Santa till it came time to sit with him, then she was a little nervous. McKean was definitely not into him at all!! After the ward party, Jared and I headed to his work Christmas party. It was fun, but not nearly as fun as the ones in Hawaii!

The Sunday before Christmas we went over to our friends Chad and Molly Cragun's house and attempted to do the Nativity Story. Here is Joseph and Mary, i.e Levi and Kai getting ready to start. I love that they are holding hands. So adorable. Daddy was playing the Donkey!

McKean had fun just chasing all the kids.

Love those Cheeks, I just want to gobble them up!

Kai and Brinley both wanted to be Mary so we had two Mary's although have the time they were both nowhere to be found since they were having so much fun playing together!

McKean got to do his part and play the baby Jesus. 

That is one big baby Jesus!!

He was not too thrilled with the job!

The Wiseman and Shepards finally arrive.

Lilly was the chicken. 

So cute!

Maddy was representing  Santa Claus??

McKenzie was the star and I think Savanna was the the angel!

The gang minus the other Mary!

Silly kiddos!

Our third party was with a bunch of our friends, hosted by our friends Joe and Heather Widdison!
Jared and I scored during the white elephant exchange. Showing off our goods.

The ladies: Stacie Reeve, Andrea Keck, Kelly Crosby, Andrea Fitzgerald, Heather Widdison and Melissa Mott!

Stacie scored some nice slippers.

The poor Crosby's kept having everything stolen from the. Andrea ended up with our awesome Darth Vader gumball machine.

The Mott's scored some totally awesome exclamation perfume!!

The Kecks, got some running wrist pocket thingys!

Joe's shirt was pretty awesome.
