Ansley and Hailey are so excited for Christmas this year. We got our tree a week into December, and Hailey loved to put all her ornaments on one spot on the tree.
At our ward Christmas party we had an extra special Santa. Everyone loved him. Even Hailey warmed up to him after a couple of tries. Ansley told him she wanted a camera for Christmas.
As you can see, even certain grown ups enjoyed talking to this Santa. And interestingly enough, this grown up was the only beard yanker in the bunch. Even the Young Women that sat on Santa's lap were polite (although they did ask for ponies and such).
We decorated sugar cookies at Grandmas house, and gingerbread cookies at home with Jacey and Jaren Reed.
We had the Nativity play family home evening at Grandma's house the Monday before Christmas. Ansley was excited to be a "wise woman" with her princess jasmine outfit and a matching pink crown Grandma had. I played the great-with-child Mary, and Michael was Joseph. Hailey wanted a crown, too, so we had a lot of wise people and Grandpa was the only shepard.
Here is our family picture in front of the tree on Christmas eve.
