Corbin and Aidan infront of our Christmas Tree, all ready for Christmas in their Snowman pj's.They had a great time decorating the tree and especially hanging the candy canes and making the gingerbread cookies and hanging them on the tree. Aidan was pretty possisive of his ornaments and would walk around the tree at least once a day touching and accounting for all the ornaments he put on the tree. He also got pretty good at snatching the candy canes, I found several around the house in odd places half eaten.
Here we are at Grandpa and Grandma's on Christmas Eve. We had a small program were we sang Christmas Hymns and acted out the Manger Scene. Corbin had just done this in his Sunbeam class the week before and he had been Joseph both times they went through it. So can you guess who he wanted to be this time? Yep, the cutest Joseph I've ever seen! He took great care of Baby Jesus and even had to put him in the Manger himself. Apparently when he was playing Joseph in his Primary class, Mary wouldn't let him have a chance to hold Baby Jesus. So he told his Teacher on her and said "I'm Joseph the Dad, I should get to hold Baby Jesus if I want to, I'll take good care of him." Now if that isn't sweet! I was proud of Corbin this year he really remembered that Christmas was really about celebrating Jesus Christ and his Birth. When you asked him about it he always told you that Christmas was about Jesus being born. I'm glad he's starting to know that and hopefully it will stick with him and all of us always. Aidan was our defiant Sheep that wouldn't stay put. Grandpa was the Sheperd/Inn Keeper. Nate was camera man/Sheperd/Wisemen. Grandma was the Sheep herder since our Sheep keep taking off into the other room and pouting since he wasn't interested in participating. She also did a great job of helping us all with costumes. I was Mary and it was a fun night full of great memories!
Christmas Morning! Corbin got lots of Star Wars toys, his favorite! 
Aidan really got into the ripping open the presents and was happy to help everyone that would let him as well as he did great opening his own.
More Christmas Morning fun!
Still having a blast on Christmas Morning.
More pictures of Family....Cousins, Aunt's and Uncles. Christmas Morning we enjoyed spending time with my(Jo's) Family. Later in the day we went to Nate's Parents and spent the rest of the day having Christmas with them. Sorry I have no pictures from that on our Camera since we forgot it at my Parents. But Thanks to my Sister-in-law Jerilynn I do have some pictures on an email, so we do have pictures just not accessible for me to upload them to my blog, yet. (Thanks again, Jer.)
We had a wonderful Christmas spent with our families and we are so blessed to have the opportunity to still live close enough to get together often. We hope all had a very Merry Christmas filled with love and the Spirit of Christ and spent with loved ones!
