The girls got to be angels. They get so excited for this that for weeks before the party they'll ask me what everyone is going to be and what they are going to be. I love them as angels.
My mom and me. She puts so much time and effort into Christmas every year and it always turns out great. And Christmas Eve wouldn't be the same without my dad reading from the scriptures while also describing the peaceful and amusing scene in front of him while his grandkids act out the nativity.
Lia and Laura waiting to see what Santa brought them (although there was really no question in Lia's mind--She KNEW she was getting an American Girl doll).
Josh is his new pajamas and slippers. He couldn't figure out how to get the slippers off once the girls put them on, so he kept them on all morning. It was so funny to see him walking around in them.
Although you can't see it here, Josh got a train set and I've never seen him so excited about a toy. He laughed and said "wee" every time he'd send a train down the track. Watching him was one of my favorite parts of Christmas this year.
Laura with her "Kit Kittridge the American Girl doll." She took her everywhere for the next few days. Somehow I missed getting a picture of just Lia with her doll Ruthie. Every year we realize after all the presents are opened that we watched more than we took pictures. I don't know which is better. All in all, we had a great Christmas. It was nice to have Nate home and have some time to just be home with the kids.

What a great Christmas! I can't believe how Josh is growing up. He is one handsome devil. Welcome back into the family.
Cute pictures! I love the nativity costumes. And, that picture of Josh with the train table is darling.
How fun to be able to see your Christmas! We love you guys!
First of all....I absolutely love the slippers Josh got for Christmas! I can just imagine him stumbling around with those on. :) SOOOOOOOOOOOO cute!
Also, is that you in the nice bright red p.j.'s behind the girls in the hall way. :) So fun! Did you get those for Christmas?! :)
Looks like you all had a great day!
Kara, your kids are beautiful! I'm so glad I got in contact with you (somewhat) at Christmas my sisters and I were all remembering your family so fondly, I'm so grateful we were such good friends growing up.
I love the costumes! How fun. I have an american girl doll from when I was a kid. I'm saving it for Alli when she gets old enough- maybe next year. I hope she still likes dolls then. It's one of those things that is still really special to me.
