Hooray, the Holidays are upon us. The greatest gift this year came on Dec. 17th. Our little "Emmett Alan" made his first appearance into our family. I was determined to get some Christmas caroling in before he was born, so that night found me having contractions while singing at the nursing home. It was worth it. I love singing at the nursing home...such a sweet spirit there.
Elina & Aaron love their new brother. In fact, as soon as Aaron saw him, he said, "There's my baby!...Hi baby!" He can't get enough of him & wants to know where he is at all times! Elina told the nurse that we got a new baby brother and if Aaron tries to hurt him, she'll protect him! Yay for big sisters :)
This was our first celebration with our own little family. We tried to keep Christmas simple with only a few gifts w/ the focus on the gift of the Savior. I did get it together enough to make us matching pajama pants! (Bryce's are a little short & wide, (probably could fit santa clause) but fit enough to at least take a picture :) We had a beautiful morning complete with a nativity play. Elina being the angel/star. Me as Mary. Aaron doubling as Joseph & a Shepherd. Bryce as a Shepherd & the Donkey (Aaron got to ride all the way to Bethlehem) The kids loved dressing up and playing the parts. I think we'll have to make it a permanent tradition. Later in the week, we enjoyed spending time with both sides of our extended families and had a beautiful season!
