We had a wonderful ward Christmas party this year. We had it outside in the freezing cold weather (after a week's worth of rain) at the Bowman's house. The decided to do a live nativity scene and asked me to be in charge of getting it together. We had some amazing costumes from the Bowman's (like this wise men costume that Mikey is so fashionable wearing) & an amazing (every time I use that word now I think of Kelly from The Office).... Anyway- an amazing stable that they made. We had some beautiful songs- Aaron Ballard singing "O Holy Night", Rebecca Barney with "Mary's Lullably", and Katy (and she made me harmonize on the chorus) on a different and pretty arrangement of "While Shepherds Watch their Flocks". It was a spiritual night....just what a Christmas Party should be about.
And then Santa came....a little too late too....the kids were all very tired and cold by the point.Jackson was a little leary of this whole "Santa Claus" thing!
And Olivia didn't even make it.....out cold before Santa even came. It was so sad because she was SO excited.... I guess there's always next year!

Emily-
I was blog hopping and saw your name in someone's list. i can't believe how big your kids are getting. Looks like you haven't blogged in awhile but I think w/ 3 kids you are probably staying pretty busy!!!

I love little Jack's expression, looking at Santa! That's awesome.
Next year, we'll have to bring more jackets...and some babysitters...
Looks like fun!! You are going to have to jump to Valentine's in another week or two... HA! :) What a fun Christmas, I totally agree that this year was the best so far with the kids. It's so fun having them get so into it!!
