Christmas Eve

Every year we get together with the Livingstones for New Years.  We are so lucky to be linked to this wonderful crew.  

Aunt Amanda had a bunch of games for the kids to play.

Grandpa was way into the trek fever by this time.  They were assigned by their ward to be the leaders for the youth trek happening in March.  He went to all the meetings leading up to the trek in full regalia.  Definitely looked like a pioneer. 

Lindsey makes pj pants for everyone in the family.  You never know what you are going to get.  We all put them on as soon as we get them.  Pretty funny to see everyone in matching pjs at the party. Yes I realize that Amanda and Doug don't match.  There were 2 fabrics this year.  You either got the patterned or the orange.  

Little baby Jujo.  What a little dolly.  

I wonder what Zeke saw.  This is just hilarious to me.  It is pretty chaotic.  But the great thing about the nativity with the Livingstones is the singing.  We sing about 8 songs complete with spontaneous SATB.  All of the adults and lots of the kids can really sing.  It is so fun.  I love singing with great singers.  I don't always get to sing tho because I am taking video or pictures the whole time.  I have to.  What if I would have missed this face.   

Or this face.  What a darling boy.  Love this Wyatt. 

Luckily we have enough kids for the full cast of characters and then some.  Sam is usually our angel.  Being tall with long golden hair, type casting.  

Some of the actors can really get into it.  Wes presenting the gifts to the baby Jesus.

Love our family, Love the holidays
