Christmas Sunday

This past Sunday started our official celebrating of Christmas. After church, we gathered at my mom and dad's. This is Jamie and Tucker's year to be in Utah, so we had a little celebration before they left. We ate yummy steaks and then my mom did a really neat presentation using the manger scene. The kids really enjoyed it and got to help. I think it is so important to keep this aspect, by far the most important, a part of the celebrating.
Afterwards, presents were opened. It is amazing how in a whirlwind presents go from neatly wrapped to torn open! The evidence left is the mountains of trash waiting to be cleaned up. The evening was quite fun.

This picture cracked me up. There was a spill, so my mom pulled out her Spot Bot. Paxton had to lay on the floor and watch every move it made! He thought it was the coolest thing ever.
