A little bit of Christmas....

Decorations put up in record time.... Hatch Family party where we always have the Nativity... reinacted by our grandkids now... Nixon was a wiseman....here he is asking his mom....Are you sure this is what a wiseman really wore? Thanks to Great Grandma Hatch for sewing all of these amazing costumes....

Adilee and Paislee as two of the many angels. Many years ago we were thrilled when Kimberley and Josh were born. After 6 grandsons (not counting Josh) we finally had a female "Mary". Cam always did make a great "Mary" though....long eyelashes, curly hair....Ha Ha!

The final scene...this is the best picture I took...others had some non-flattering images in them ...we'll leave it at that (mostly Grandmas popping in just as the picture was being taken).

Santa visited...Adilee got used to Santa this year. She wanted a "Shopping Cart".

Nixon was a "big boy" this year (with some encouraging by his mom) and tolerated Santa...but was quick to hop down off of Santa's lap (with the goods!)...

You ask..."Where are the pictures from Christmas Day?" Me too! I think Kreston took a few on his camera, and the girls did too, hopefully they'll send me some...

Some happenings:

*Kim, Dayne, and Nixon were able to come for Christmas!

*Everyone spent the night here (a tradition) so we were all together to celebrate Christmas Morning.

*Some of the guys (Jacob & Jordan) were going to stay up the whole night playing "Call of Duty" I think they made it to 4 am.

*Kreston celebrated his 10th year as the Stage Manager for the Temple Lights/Programs.

*We had a wonderful Christmas dinner with my sister's family and my mom was able to be there too! (Thanks Robin, Paul, & Scott for making that happen)

*We had a great Christmas!

After Christmas, we went to Zoolights! This is the picture we took when we got home and everyone was saying goodbye to Kim, Dayne, & Nixon. We had a wonderful time with everyone here.

Hope you had a Merry Christmas too!
