Christmas Eve!

Christmas Eve!

We had the Hague cousins over to our house for awhile to play and decorate sugar cookies!

 Later that afternoon the Moody side of the family gathered at our house.  We had our gift exchange first...changed it up a bit this year and did a gift card game.

 Then we had dinner...

 ...and then our Christmas Nativity.

 Mary and Joseph.

 A few of our sheep.

 Then it was pajama time!

 All the cousins in their Christmas pajamas!

 Last but not least some dessert!

 Then we headed over to Grandpa and Grandma Hague's to play some games (and eat their treats)!

 When we got home for the night the girls opened their gift...their Christmas ornaments.

Then off to bed!  We read Twas the Night Before Christmas and tried to sleep for Santa to come!

Reindeer!

We went to Beaver Bark with the cousins to see Dancer and Prancer before they left to help Santa!

Cute cousins!

Celebrations...

On December 20th I got to go help in Talia's class with their Polar Express Pajama party.  I got to read to the class the Polar Express and then help with one of the centers.  We had a good time and I love helping in her class!

That night we went over to Grandpa and Grandma's house for dinner.  Mitch, Elayna, and Avery had arrived the night before and Dallin, Cassie, Kylie, McKenna and Jayce were all in town.  We celebrated a belated birthday for Elayna!  Happy Birthday Aunt Elayna!

Karisa (about 5 months old) and Jayce (about 3 months old).

Happy Birthday Lydia!

Lydia turned 3 on December 19th!

(Good thing cause I've been saying she's 3 for awhile now!)

She woke up that morning and helped bake her cake!  She LOVES to help mom in the kitchen!

 She chose homemade pizza for her dinner.

 Grandma (Grandpa was working in Spokane) and Andy, Julie, Brayden, and Owen joined us for dinner and her Daniel Tiger themed birthday.

 She was sooo excited to open her presents!  It had been a little confusing for her that day to distinguish birthday presents from Christmas presents.  Hmmm...December birthdays.

 Excited to have a robe just like big sisters!

Happy Birthday Lydia!

You are such a fun, happy, energetic, determined, independent little girl!  We are so thankful you are part of our family.  We love you!
