Washington DC temple lights

Gene and Rebecca did a concert at the Washington DC temple vistors center December 27th. We have never been to the lights at the visitors center before, and Isabelle loved them. So on the way back to our car after the concert we hurried and took a couple of pictures. Lukcily this is the end of my Christmas pictures for this year! :)

Christmas Day

Here are a few pictures of the kids opening there presents. Isaac liked
to eat the wrapping paper. Somehow Victoria avoided getting her
picture taken while opening presents, so there aren't
any of her.

Christmas Eve PJs

It is a tradition in our family to open one present on Christmas Eve. Usually that
present is pajamas. This year we managed to finding matching PJs for the
whole family from Gene down to Issac. Can you believe that childrens
place carries adult sizes.........sometimes. Here are few of
the pictures we took. Only one more posting and
I will have all of Christmas blogged! :)

Christmas Eve

This year for Christmas Eve we went to Gene's parents house.
The kids all got to act out the birth of Christ. Gene's mom
made costumes for all of them to wear. It was a great
way to remind the kids of the true meaning
of Christmas!

Isabelle as the angel! :)

Victoria as Mary and Joshua (my nephew) as Joseph

Isaac as baby Jesus

Brenden as one of the wiseman. (he made sure he got to carry the gold!)

O Christmas tree!!!!

I guess it is better late than never!! Here is our Christmas tree this year. We actually put it up on December first, but because of the craziness I didn't getting any Christmas blogged until today!! I thought I would start with the Christmas tree and blog something more in a couple more days. Hopefully if I stay ontop of things I will finally have all of Christmas blogged in about a week!! :) I hope you all had a wonderful holiday season!! And hopefully we will get to see you sometime this year!!
