Christmas Break...

We stayed in Utah this year for Christmas and started some of our own traditions. Here is Ryker drawing a picture for Santa to go along with the cookies and milk and the carrots for the reindeer. He thought Chocolate milk might get him some extra points with Santa this year:)
Our humble little nativity. We didn't have a doll so teddy was baby Jesus this year, and Ryker's stuffed dog was the farm animals:) I was Mary, Ryker was Joseph, and Bridger was a Shepherd. Shawn was the inn keeper/donkey/angel:)
We went sledding the day before Christmas as well.
And made snow angels...so much fun!

Oh what fun traditions! I love the live nativity...especially since Shawn got to be not 1, but 3 different characters. I'm glad to see his sweet acting skills were not wasted.:) Looks like you guys had a great Christmas and we miss you terribly...yes, I may say that in every comment I make, but it is true every time! And that was a very nice tribute to your grandma.

What a fun Christmas break. It is almost depressing when Christmas is over, because husbands have to go back to work, and we have to go back to normal life.
