Christmas

 We had Christmas with just our family too.  We tried to invite 3 families over, but we struck out an all of them.  We still had fun though.  We acted out the Nativity, James was the angel

 Spencer was the shepherd and Samuel the Lamanite

 And the donkey

 Carrie was the cutest Mary ever.  She sang all the songs to her baby, really just nonsense words since she didn't know the words, but it was super cute.

 We opened new Christmas pj's

 From Santa Carrie got a "Sofia Castle."  That was her dream come true.  We play Sofia a lot now days.

 Spencer got Snap Circuits and put together about every experiment in the book the first day.

 James got a transformer car- it turns into a dinosaur and is much easier to transform that the "real" transformers, and it talks.  We realized that Santa doesn't like us parents much because every toy he gave the kids makes noise.

 Carrie got her own phone in her stocking- it just doesn't have a data plan- or a battery, but she doesn't mind at this age.

 Leah go a play gym that I have put in her crib (since she still sleeps in the bassinet.)  It has been great to be able to put her there when I need to do something an dI need her to be safe from Carrie's "helpful" hands.

 James is funny.  Devon found cool slap watches for the kids.

 Carrie was so excited James got her a clippy Cinderella doll.  Our kids drew names this year and had a fun time shopping for each other.

 I really like matching clothes so I bought the girls matching dresses.  They look super cute, and if I ever put this dress on Leah Carrie insists on wearing her matching one.

Oh yeah, and it snowed on Christmas morning, you don't get much better than that.
