Christmas recap

This year was the first we've spent Christmas as just our little family---no traveling to parents' or in-laws' houses. It was very low-key and cozy and really wondeful and magical and unforgettable.
Here are the kids getting into the spirit of the season with their Santa hats and jingle bell bracelets.
Our favorite pasttime--checking out the lights in the neighborhood.
Our favorite house. We have video on the previous post, in case you missed it.
The lights at the LA Temple
Sorry for the blurry shot...but the temple grounds looked amazing.
I loved this red canopy on the tree.
How cute is Avery in my hat and her new jammies?!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas holiday. We are so grateful for this chance to commemorate the birth and life of our Savior.

Merry Christmas!!
