We had another fantastic Christmas Eve "breakfast" dinner at Brian and Debi's. The kids really look forward to the nativity, and Abby's name was drawn to play Mary this year (much to Kayci's dismay). It was a fun, yummy night!
Eat up kids!
The angels - Brooklyn and Kayci
The crazy nativity, Jake about took out everyone and everything with his shepherd's crook.
Karlee was the star!
We had a great Christmas again this year. I love surprising the kids with something they thought they weren't going to get. I also love to see the joy in their faces when they get something really wanted. It was also Lexie's first Christmas which was a lot of fun. We spent the afternoon at Holly and Jared's eating and opening presents from cousins and grandma and grandpa. We really are blessed with such wonderful family. I probably say it all the time, but I don't know what I would do without them!
Lexie's 1st Christmas. She loved the paper, of course!
Abby got her own camera which we ended up returning because it didn't work. She was a little bummed at first until she ended up with an even nicer camer. She's quite the photographer and film maker now.
Karlee wanted a sewing machine and also got this cute sewing box.
Jake got an awesome train set that everybody loves to play with!

Abby and Karlee got their new room. Do you think they were excited to see it or what?!
Karlee loving her new loft bed that her amazing dad made for her.
Abby posing by her new bed. They absolutely loved their new room.
The kids gave Layne a new mug to take his hot chocolate to work in every day. It has their pictures on it and turned out way cute!
Grandma and Grandpa Kinghorn came to have Christmas breakfast with us.

Cute kids - the girls all got matching puffy vests, even Lexie and the twins
During Christmas break we were able to meet up with our good friends, the Andersen's, at a little restaurant in American Falls to catch up. It's crazy to think that it just used to be the two little Abby's, and now there are two boys and seven girls. They play and visit like they've never been apart. Thanks for a fun evening Andersen's. We sure love and miss you!
