Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas to our beloved friends and family! We had a great Christmas season and were as busy as ever!


On December 5th we went to see the Christmas lights at the temple with all of our Steele cousins.

Afterwards, we went back to GG's house and made chocolate houses. Our house's theme was, "It's what's inside that counts!" I don't know if you can tell, but the outside of the house is plain, and the middle is filled to the top with candy. We also made it so the roof was removable so we could snack on the candy inside (which we did for what seemed like days).

Then on December 18th, Reagan had her preschool Christmas program. I got mixed up on the times and thought that the four year old class had their program at 7:30, but really the afternoon class had their program at 7:30. Reagan is in the morning class and was supposed to be there at 6:30. I finally figured it out when our friends, who have kids in Reagan's class, were no where to be seen. So Reagan ended up doing her Christmas program with kids she had never met. She didn't seem to mind (or notice). Oops!

On December 23rd, we had our Steele eve eve celebration. We had dinner, a program, a talent show and, of course, presents. We got our kids board games from GG and Grandad. Thanks for the fun evening. On Christmas eve, we had our traditional hor'devour dinner. After dinner we decorated sugar cookies for Santa.

When we were done with the cookies, we had a short program and then opened our Christmas eve pajamas (another tradition). Everyone seemed to like their pajamas except Lincoln. He said that he hated Iron Man and only liked steel. When we convinced him that iron and steel were the same thing, he warmed up a little bit. Notice the thumbs down from Linc.

Finally, it was Christmas morning. I think the kids liked what they got. Here is a video of each kid telling what they got.



We feel very blessed to have such great family and friends. We hope your Christmas was the best. Love ya!
