Christmastime

THE SUNDAY BEFORE CHRISTMAS

Here's some pictures from the Sunday before Christmas. Noel was all smiles that night in her cute little snowflake dress.

CHRISTMAS EVE AT THE REYNOLDS

For Christmas Eve we went to the Reynolds along with Morgan's parents, my parents, my sister Leslie and her family and my brother Chris and Kareena. We had a wonderful dinner, had a Christmas program with the story of the Christ Child from the Bible, sang songs, and then opened up gifts. We had a great time!

My mom ended up with a couple of grandkids in her lap, Adam and Noel. Noel blends into my mom's red blouse:)

The Leather Thugs and Thugette. Ha, Morgan's face is classic.

CHRISTMAS DAY

Morgan and I had our own little Christmas celebration with Noel, first thing Christmas morning. It is neat to have a baby around this time of year and to think of Mary and Joseph and how they must have felt, to not only have a child but to have a child that would give His life for their sake as well as ours. We love Noel so very much and we are so grateful to have her in our lives. It has become more apparent to me that her name will always reflect the feeling of Christmas and the joy that is felt when we celebrate Christ's birth.

One of the gifts I got for Morgan was a display case that he asked for, for his Dominican money.

One of the things Morgan got for me was some really good smelling candles.

We then went over to my parents for a couple of hours. We exchanged gifts and had breakfast.

Chris and his sharp looking coat Kareena got for him.

Morgan got a new phone!!! His old one was an antique!

My parents holding their gifts they got from us kids. We got my dad the "Joseph Smith Ring" and my mom a couple of songbooks she had asked for.

Around noon we went to celebrate Christmas with Morgans parents, grandparents, uncle and brother. We visited, exchanged gifts, ate a wonderful ham dinner and played games.
