They are a little out of order, but we had a wonderful Christmas. We almost didn't have a tree this year {it was still in Vegas} and then my mom came into town and went to our garage and climbed over and around all our stuff to get it for us. I was so excited because Christmas is just not the same without a tree. This year was so fun as all 5 kids loved opening presents. We had both my brothers over and parents and nephew. We felt very blessed this year! The kids faces were the best! Alyvia was so excited! All the kids got what they asked for and were super excited. We even surprised them with a barbie doll house that they hadn't asked for...

Traditional Stucki family Christmas party. Crew did NOT like Santa. Even though Santa had a present. He totally de-dressed him. Carter didn't mind him at all and loved getting a gift! It is crazy because we have gone since Emma was this old and now I see Emma and Alyvia on his lap and they are so tall and getting so old. It makes me a little sad!!

I went into Chloe's class and Alyvia's class and read a Christmas story and brought candy canes. The girls loved it!!

We went to the temple and saw the nativity and lights. It is fun to be close to the temple again!

I almost died when Chloe was talking to Carter and he pointed up to Jesus. It was so cool!!

The boys are getting big and love to eat at the big kid table. Although they make a mess so it probably won't happen often!

We went to the Stucki's house for Christmas Eve dinner and our traditional white elephant, games, and testimony meeting. We are grateful to be so close again so we don't have to travel!!
