Christmas in Utah

We enjoyed our Christmas with my family this year.  It felt like a week-long celebration with all that went on.  

Grandma VO hosted a party with the traditional nativity program including the Christmas story from Luke and lots of song.  The grandkids looked so cute in their costumes ready to play their part:)

Jaden wanted to be the stable cow:)

:vocal solos, duets, trios, etc:
(As you can probably tell... angel was the costume of choice for us grown ups)

:piano solos and duets:

:several other talents and readings:

My lucky Grandma lives across the street from temple square, so we couldn't pass up the opportunity to see the lights!  We bundled up and headed out.

:all of us:

:beautiful as always:

:some of the favorites:

(and a nice big cup of hot cocoa to warm up our freezing noses)

We had a house full of munchkins for a few days.  So fun to see the cousins play together!

Jaden loved hanging with his Uncle Andrew and G&G Moon.

Thanks to my big sis for watching Jaden so we could visit the temple for an afternoon.

It was wonderful.

(and the view from our seats at The Garden were wonderful too:)

The Moons got together on Christmas Eve for a delicious dinner.

and some holiday Bingo - G'ma Moon gave out the best prizes!

that night: Jaden strutted his Christmas PJs before we watched the Nativity movie

the next morning: presents and a yummy Christmas breakfast
Thanks for making it so special G&G Moon!

:the traditional stocking hunt:

:Christmas Sunday:

some times are easier than others when trying to photograph your toddler;)

 We had a great Christmas and are so glad we were able to spend it with family.

We finish our holiday travels in Wyoming with the Cutlers!:)
