Merry Christmas!!

This was our first Christmas Eve spent with just our family. We decided it would be nice to keep the tradition of driving around to see Christmas lights going. Ryan found out about a festival of lights at Watkins regional park in Maryland that we could drive through.

Alyssa loved all the light displays and also loved helping her dad drive through to look at them.

Sean was really good and just stared out the window at them the whole time.
A little treat for the drive home.

When we got home, the kids opened up their Christmas pj's.



We laid out our stockings and cookies for Santa,then put the kids to bed.
Well, Sean got to hang out for a little while longer...

CHRISTMAS MORNING!!!!

Alyssa was so excited. She was the most interested in all the fun things that were inside her stocking.

Sean was happy just hanging out in his chair.
Alyssa was just as excited about taking everything out of his stocking to show him.

Now onto the good stuff!
Alyssa playing with her favorite present. She is the only 3 year old who asks for money for Christmas. Every time she sat on santa's lap that is what she would tell him and anyone else who asked. Luckily Santa brought her a new piggy bank with a bag full of money to fill it up.

Alyssa got new dance shoes just in time to start her new dance class!

We all got Spoiled for sure!





And of course we all got some new Laker Gear!


We have had a lot of fun this holiday season. This year we didn't make it back to Utah. We decided that since We just had a baby it would be easier to stay home, and make everyone come to us this year. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with just our family. On Christmas day Ryan's family flew in to be with us and to have the D.C. experience. They were here through the new year and stayed till we blessed Sean, which my parents flew out for. It has been a lot of fun having all of our family out here with us.
