We had a great Christmas! We went to Washington state for 2 weeks! Peyton did well on the drives and pretty well overall - by the time the 2 weeks were over though, we were all ready to be back home!
Stephen and I made a gingerbread house late one night and we did an amazing job! It was very fun!
Levi (my nephew) and I also made a gingerbread house but it wasn't nearly as nice-looking but it was still fun!
Peyton Christmas morning with new toys; all ready to start working with powertool and safety glasses! Peyton still wasn't really into Christmas - he didn't want to open any more presents after the first one because he liked that one too much!
Peyton being very careful not to let the bow fall off his head!
He did really well this year and not playing with the tree or gifts - we didn't have to make any adjustments to the tree or hide the presents! Next year I am sure we will have to!
Instead of a traditional family Christmas dinner we did a Bethleham dinner with foods that would have been eaten during the time period that Christ was born. We had foods like chicken, pita-like bread, dates, pomegrantes, grapes, goat cheese, rice, zucchini, squash, peppers, and more stuff that I can't remember. It was actually pretty good (some of it I didn't care for) but the experience is really really cool!!! This picture is all of us in our costumes! What was really neat was that my step-brother that I hadn't seen in years came - it was so fun to see him!
Our little Bethleham family picture! My step-mom did a fantastic job on MAKING the costumes - yes, she made all of them!
Peyton "smiling" for the camera - he has the cutest, cheesiest smile!We had a great time visiting both Stephen and my families and am grateful to have such great people in our lives! We are grateful for the birth of our Savior and His life that gives us an example to live after and saves us! We are very grateful for all the blessings that we have been given!
