Christmas

This year we stayed in Houston for Christmas and then on Christmas morning we flew to California.  I loved having Christmas as our little family and knowing that we would be doing all of the traditions made it even more fun to decorate and enjoy the Christmas season.

One thing we did was to watch the LDS First Presidency Christmas Devotional together.  James, like Henri, responds to music and always crawled over to see what was going on whenever the choir started singing.

Here is James sneaking under the table, looking cute.

Here is James checking out the tree.  Doesn't that face just make you think that some kind of mischief has been managed???

Yep, mischief managed! 

Just after Papa Noel visited on Christmas Eve

 Christmas morning.  Henri surveyed the gifts before going in and waking James up.

It was really really hard to wake James up!  You would think after sleeping through the night he would have just hopped right up, but I guess he wasn't too anxious to see what Papa Noel brought him.

Still trying to wake up and looking like Quasimodo.

Okay, James is awake now

Christmas was really great this year!  It was so wonderful to spend a lot of time with each other and to think of our Savior.  We feel so blessed to have the Gospel in our lives and to have the opportunity to learn and grow as a family!
