We were able to be with Ernie's family this year for Christmas. We were there 11 days, and so I decided I would start with just Christmas Eve and Christmas morning.
We had a wonderful Christmas. I took a gazillion pictures (at least) which I am normally bad at. We love to be able to be there at Grandma Doreen's and Grandpa Bill's. There are so many family members there and it is always so memorable.
This Christmas was the traditional Sea food feast prepared by Grandpa and pizza for all of the kids (um, and maybe me) downstairs.
Caleb was Joseph for the nativity re-enactment. Well, at least until it was actually time to walk in with Mary. Then he got a little embarrassed. But, I was very impressed he at least got this far :).
I had the boys take a picture with their favorite gifts from their stockings. Caleb is really into setting them up nicely (you'll see below a few pictures from Christmas morning). He is such a cute kid.
Ernie's favorite gift was his shirt. Yep, that is my Ernie.
After our fun night, we headed home and got to open one more present:
Our Christmas jammmies.
I think it was up in the air for a while......but Santa decided to make a visit to the Elliott boys.
They were ready to go bright and early.......
Ernie got a pocket knife in his stocking, and he felt pretty grown up.
And Caleb with his gifts from Santa. He took about 5 minutes setting them all out perfectly before I was allowed to take a picture :).
It was a great morning.
We got ready and went in to Boise and went to church with his 3 sisters (who all attend the same ward).
And I just have to say that
I love Christmas when it is on Sunday. I really do.
We are so blessed. We talk about it all the time. We are so grateful for our family, and especially grateful that our boys have so many people that love them.
