Christmas

It has been a busy Christmas this year. The season began with Tiffany's piano students Christmas recital. Jared played in the recital as well. It was his first time playing in public and he did well despite his nerves, playing The First Noel.
A night or two before Christmas Eve the kids made gingerbread (graham cracker) houses.
Christmas morning was wonderful. The kids enjoyed all their gifts and spent the morning playing with them.
Christmas Pajamas
Gifts from Santa
Best Moment #1 Anna and Jared giving hugs and kisses after opening each others gifts for one another.
Best Moment #2 Audrey playing with her favorite toy: packing peanuts
Christmas afternoon Kevin drove to the Reagan Airport to pick up his Sister, Kristen, her husband, Hyrum, and their son, Will. We had a nice week hanging out, going on walks, playing games, visiting D.C., and the temple.
Taking a bath
Putting together a Christmas present
Strolling D.C.
Museum of Natural History
Sister/Brother
Inner Harbor
Teaching Uncle Hyrum the finer points of Go-Fish
Sharing secrets
After dropping Kristen, Hyrum, and Will off at the airport we headed to the Temple to see the lights.
Hope everyone else's Christmas was as wonderful as ours.
