Christmas Fun

Stephen and I are pretty boring when it comes to Christmas gifts. We typically do all of our own shopping and then wrap our own presents. Our stocking stuffers are the only real surprises we get. This year we finished our Christmas shopping early thanks to a trip to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving.

This Christmas we celebrated Christmas Eve with Stephen's family in Provo. Their tradition is to have tacos and re-enact the nativity. Stephen's sister Lara made awesome nativity costumes for the kids, but I didn't get any photos.

We slept over at Stephen's brother's house on Christmas Eve because we wanted to see the kids open Christmas presents. It was fun watching them open their presents and then helping them put their toys together. We had breakfast at Stephen's Brother's and then went to my brother's house to exchange gifts with my family. Afterwards we went back to Stephen's brother's for dinner and watched Elf. Stephen did a great job stuffing my stocking. This year my stocking stuffers comprised of...
-Beehive Cheese Co Cheese and Rusks
-Peanut M and M's
-A Chocolate Orange
-Riesens
-Socks
-An ornament from Anthropologie
-Pot holders from Anthropologie
-Portugeese Soaps
-Bath bombs and bubble bars from LUSH
-Banksy book
Stephen and I see the lights on temple square every year. This year, we went the same time as Stephen's family. We had dinner at Hires and then walked around temple square. Here are a few shots.
