Christmas 2016!

     This years Christmas was a great success....in the end. Our cute, if not silly looking, lamb was supposed to participate with the ward primary children at our Christmas Eve nativity but she only made it to the pew to sit with her dad so you could say she was a little lost sheep who wasn't quite comfortable in her own 'wool'.
The primary president insisted she wear it despite my resignation.
    Christmas Eve traditions are still going strong with new pjs. I did my shopping on line this year and it made sizing a bit of an issue but everyone was happy in the end.
Pajamas being too big is better than pajamas being too small.
I even treated Greg and myself to new pjs.
      Christmas on a Sunday is always a little different. Our little princess was the only one who got to have something new first thing in the morning, courtesy of her big sister. She loves pink and dresses so this was a win, win!
All ready for Christmas at church.
    After torturous hours of waiting they finally were all home and ready to get to the 'fun'.
Traditional lineup and a little more dressed up than usual!
     Now comes the fun and a LOT of photos!

She would have been happy with so little, why can't they all be so sweet!
Best buds sharing a moment. Marcus had a nice gift box for Mark to enjoy.
A little Harry Potter paraphanelia for this Hufflepuff. 
Some ginormous snowboard boots for this guy.
New movies courtesy of G&G Christmas funds! Thanks to both sets of grandparents!
A few fun things for this kid.
McClane was happy for the most part.
Carter was beyond thrilled with his gifts, especially the inappropriate video game his older brother got him.
A tablet, his one big wish has been fulfilled, now he can stop crying! (He cried right from the start when he didn't initially see a tablet lying out by his stocking. Some peoples kids!)
His one moment of anger, which wasn't about this cool firetruck. And the magic tracks in the top right corner are so cool and another fun gift from grandparent Christmas funds.
She was thrilled with this gift from Isaac. The new Pete's Dragon is a cute movie.
Another fun gift to Charlie from Kayli.
Dress ups and cars, what more could these kids ask for.
The new projector screen was another great gift from G&G funds and I especially can't wait to use it this coming summer in the backyard!
Sweet!
And have you met this spoiled dog!?Seriously, he's something else!
     So there you have it! We survived another Christmas and everyone came out of it happy and content over all. I didn't post every single photo from the big day but you get the gist of our fun. Greg got ramps for the car and a new snow shovel. I got candy, a flip belt and a cool mount for my cellphone in the car. Now we're just looking forward to ringing in the New Year in Idaho with some of our favorite Baker's!
