Christmas 2014

Coolest Salvation Army guy ever!

I'm still trying to find my favorite way to display our Christmas cards. 

This one is my favorite so far.

Hall Family Christmas Party

(Max and Spencer's first presents opened)

Afterwards we went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Morrise

Christmas Eve

Jacob said his favorite part of Christmas was staying in your pajamas all day, so we decided to let them open their Christmas pj's in the morning and after their bath they could wear them all day.

Good brothers helping their little brothers

We then headed over to Jenny and DJ's house for a Morrise Christmas gathering.

First on the agenda was exchanging presents, which worked nicely since both who we had and who had us was there early.

Christopher was the cutest and happiest kid about everything he (or anyone) got

Babies getting in on the action

Opening Marshall and Susan's presents 

Live Nativity

Mary, Joseph and Jesus with twin shepherds who have twin sheep (one who's being trampled by a Steven wise man) and another Christopher wise man looking on.  Oh and the angel is being held up but I just got the legs of her dad :)

Another look at the totally accurate account of the nativity

Max in his sheep costume aka hooded towel.
We go all out for costumes here.

Frosting cookies

And of course Christmas Eve should always end with
"It's a Wonderful Life"

I loved seeing Grandma playing with Max
 

Thanksgiving Point Curiosity Museum

For Christmas our family got a family pass to Thanksgiving Point, so a few days after Christmas we checked out the curiosity museum and loved it!  We will love using this pass!

Wind Corner

Blurry but it shows the joy in Steven's face

We tried to have William and Ryan contained but it didn't last too long.

Afterwards we ran some errands and while Jacob ran inside we played in the car with Pringles (luckily I had them in the car already!)

This makes my heart so happy!

The after Christmas play is always the best!

Our Christmas morning was very loud and with a lot more fighting that I would have wanted, but in the end Jacob and I feel so blessed to have these boys in our lives and hopefully one day we'll have a nice peaceful Christmas.
