Cheri and Cody were going to be spending the day with his family, but we made sure to snap some pictures of London and Karoline in their matching sweaters. Here they are holding hands-too cute!
Capri was matching as well, but had already taken off to Grandma's house (such a nice perk of living so close!) to play with her cousins. I tore her away for just a minute to take some pictures of her and Koko and it turned out full of Christmas love!
We had plenty of hilarious moments such as Karoline not wanting to hold her star and so when I held it out for her she just swiped it out of her way, or when the Wise Men (Spencer and Eli) came in pretending one was riding the other like a donkey, or when Capri started crying when Karoline took Baby Jesus away, and lastly, when my dad couldn't find the right story in the scriptures about the coming of the Wise Men. It was all good and we were thoroughly entertained.
All snug in their Christmas jammies, we nestled them in their beds, with hopes there would be visions of sugar plums dancing in their heads...

After dinner, we got the kids dressed up for our annual Nativity play. The kids were actually really eager to participate this year so we knew it was going to be good.
Here is Roman, our shepherd:
Capri as Mary with Baby Jesus:
And our little Koko as the star:
Kaleb as Joseph had to push Mary on the "donkey" (aka Princess ride-on toy covered in a sheet). It was funny to watch Kaleb's determination in getting Capri across the room. The sheet kept getting stuck underneath and so he was having to push with all his might!

It was all good and we were thoroughly entertained.And let's not forget Roman using his shepherds crook as some kind of weapon...
These cousins have so much fun together. Spencer, Kaleb, and Eli are absolutely Roman and Capri's favorite people so it made the day that much more perfect to be together.
When we were done laughing at our hysterical pageant, we got to work on our baking. Me and the kids whipped up a batch of oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (Santa's favorite) like we did last year-tradition!- and the kids couldn't wait to set them out on the special Santa plate. To wrap up the night, we let the kids open one present, their Christmas jammies. They were so excited to put them on and so was I-they were adorably cozy!
