Christmas has come and gone, and I'm sad that it is gone. I don't want to take down the tree and all the decorations, but I know that I need to do it this coming week. We had fun time and kept it simple, but definitely missed being with our families! We invited the missionaries (Elder Tilgner and Elder Zern) over for Christmas Eve dinner and a short program after. Elder Tilgner is from northern Germany and brought his small trumpet. He's very musical, so it was nice to have him there. Kedric was just taken by the trumpet. He was absolutely in awe and loved it! We sang "Christmas is upon us" of course. Kedric was the Santa, Reilyn the dolly, and the Elders were the elves. After the program, we were just talking with the Elders and didn't realize what the kids were doing. Suddenly we heard some toy making noise and the kids just laughing with excitement. They had opened up one of Kedric's presents and playing with it. It was too cute!
We had my parents on the web cam on Christmas morning and Kedric was only interested in the laptop (with the web cam) the camera, and the camcorder! He didn't really know that he could open presents because we've been telling him not to all month! He did love the beef stick that was in his stocking, so he was running around all morning chewing on a beef stick! Reilyn loved Christmas! She was so patient and came and woke us up before she sneaked a peak in the living room. She was trying to figure out which pile was hers, and shouted with glee when she saw her name on one of the presents! We did get a White Christmas, but it wasn't snow, it was a build up of 4 days of frost, but it was still so beautiful! Here's a little slide show of some of the pictures...

Aww. The kids look so cute in their Christmas jammies and I'm glad you still do the fun family traditions and Christmas Program even though you aren't with us. WE missed you this year too. You're kids are way too cute. I love Reilyn's excited smile, it makes me laugh everytime.
okay i think i figured out how to leave a comment. thanks for sharing your pictures with us. your kids are so cute - so is james. it was really fun to be on the webcam with you on christmas. it made us feel like you weren't quite so far away. we are so excited to come and visit, we can't even believe it!! love to all of you.
Looks like you had a fun Christmas! That is fun that you were able to have the Elders as part of your Christmas program.
Once again great pictures!
Your children could seriously be kid Gap models! They are perfect! Glad to hear that your holiday season was good.
Loved the slideshow!! What an awesome Christmas. How cool you had the missionaries over. All the pics are so darling of the kids. Cute matching pjs. I LOVED your Christmas card and it was fun to actually see a couple pics of YOU. Such a cute mom and rarely seen!
Totally love the lens, but have only shot the kids a few times so far and not much outside. It just came a couple days ago. So did you get your 5D on a good deal? They are soo expensive. I want to upgrade my body within the year.
p.s. We are coming to Europe (just Jed and I) the first couple weeks of June. We'll fly into London and work our way from there. Maybe we can meet up somewhere!
