Best Christmas Ever!

We had such a great Christmas! I love spending a lot of time with my family and Jake was so excited!

We spent Christmas Eve at my Grandma's house. Growing up all of my cousins would dress up and reinact the nativity on Christmas Eve. We haven't done it in quite a while, but this year we were able to do it with the next generation of kids. It was so adorable! My grandma had a bunch of material that we used to make costumes. Jake was a shepherd. I didn't think he would be too excited about putting on a costume, but he absolutely loved it!







Jake meeting Santa for the first time. He was excited to see him but still slightly hesitant to talk with a stranger! I had a great video, but it wouldn't load. Too bad!



Jake playing under the piano at a family party.



One of Jake's favorite presents this year was a backpack. He puts all of his toys inside and walks around with it on. It's pretty cute.



I got some good stuff this year too. Jeremy got me this awesome picture of the Timpanogos Temple. I love it!!!

It's so fun to see your kids carrying on the traditions that we grew up with. What a cute shepherd. I LOVE the temple picture you got. I want the one of the Sacred Grove in that same style.

That picture is pretty awesome. I see it at Deseret Book and others like it. They have that old fashion style to them. Very classy. Where is it located in your home I wonder?
