Christmas time is here...

and the kids had a wonderful time opening presents from us, family and Santa Claus. here are a few of my favorite pictures. Monty should be home in a week. We have missed him and this Christmas was nearly unbearable for me. Sadly, despite Christmas being one of my favorite holidays I am glad it is over!

love to all,

michelle

Christmas Eve dinner (and yes she has clothes, she just does not wear them...)

Christmas Breakfast, before Santa eat his cookies and drank the milk. (homemade cinnamon rolls and milk for the kids.) Kody opening one of her presents...which was all dress up clothes...

Peter celebrating one of his two favorite gifts (and his inventor supply box is the other one.)

While she wasn't sold on the dress up stuff at first (ok all day, she did choose this one dress to put on

and wanted to sleep in it..how do you tell a 2 year old princess that she can't wear a princess dress to bed?)

this is Peter giving the lesson for FHE on Christmas Eve, he read some scriptures on priesthood lineage and I was able to show him Monty's. He conducted FHE, made popcorn for our treat and handed out assignments..

This is peter and his first invention, made from the supplies that Grandpa Leo gave him, he was very excited about his "upper pulley stringer lifter."
