Christmas this year was a 3 day event. On December 23rd, we attended an extended family party hosted by Grandma and Grandpa Thatcher. We had a wonderful time visiting with family and watched a video of the Nativity. Cory was very concerned that the Roman soldiers were going to hurt Mary and Joseph. Grandpa Bird was able to come, even though he has been struggling with some health problems. He has been in and out of the hospital a few times in December, and we were glad he was able to be there with us.

On Christmas Eve, Holly hosted a party at her house. All of the kids dressed in their pajamas and we had breakfast for dinner. We frosted and decorated cookies for Santa and watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas". Next, Grandma Bird and Kaden played their Ukuleles and we sang Christmas songs. We ended the night with a pinata. It was so fun and everyone loved it!

Before bed, we set out the cookies Cory made for Santa and a glass of water.
Christmas morning started early for Cory and Kevin, and even earlier for me. I didn't realize how excited I was, but I was wide awake at 4am anxiously waiting for Cory to wake up. Cory woke up to Kevin's dismay at 5:15am, and Cory and I were able to drag Kevin out of bed by 5:30am to start Christmas!

Before heading to church, we gave Cory his gift from his Grandma and Grandpa Whitesell. A ticket to Disney World!
It was a great Christmas, but my favorite part was spending time together. The three of us don't get a lot of time together, and I enjoyed spending time with my two favorite people the most!
