The Saturday before Christmas, Shane’s parents flew in from Utah to celebrate the Christmas week with us. Saturday, they did some Christmas shopping, and we had fun hanging out and playing games. Sunday, we had a great day at church and enjoyed going to see the lights at Peacock Lane that night.
For my birthday, Shane got up and made some delicious crepes with strawberries and whipped cream for breakfast while I slept in. Breakfast was delicious, and then I got to open my presents. James especially liked hiding in my footrest from Kent and Christie. Two of my best presents were some coupon books from Davis and Landon, including even one from Davis that said, “Not to bother you.”
Eating breakfast, and opening my coupon books:

After I finished opening my presents, we went bowling and then to lunch at Panera. Yum! While we were at Panera, Landon came up to me and said, “Mom, how come no one looks excited? It’s Christmas Eve!”
Me and my bowling ball belly:

That evening, we had a delicious Christmas Eve dinner, and then we acted out the nativity. My mom had sent us an early Christmas gift of some beautiful costumes to wear when acting out the nativity. They were perfect!
Reading some books before acting out the nativity:
Here we are all dressed up (Kelly was the narrator): Shane and I were Joseph and Mary, Christie was the angel, Kent was a shepherd, and the boys were the wise men.
We got ready for bed, and Shane did a good job hiding all of our books in the living room so that we had a challenge to find them. The boys were super excited to go to bed so that Santa could come!
