Christmas!!!!

Merry Christmas! We had a wonderful Christmas season and are sad that it is over. Here are some pictures of our different Christmas activities.

Aliyah's Christmas Dress (thanks Mom!)

Aliyah's Ballerina Dress - An early gift from Aftin's parents (we opened presents early since we were spending Christmas in CA). She wore it for the next four days straight!

Ward Christmas Party - Aliyah wouldn't sit on Santa's lap, so I had to do it.

Our Sibling Christmas Party:

Costume Contest Winners:

Snow Clothes Relay Game:

Present Wrapping Game:

California Trip - We spent Christmas week in California with Bill's family.

Me and my Grandma Munns - Coincidentally, my grandma lives only 30 minutes from Bill's family so I get to see her every time we go out there.

Christmas Eve with John (Bill's brother) and his family - Aliyah just loved playing with her older cousins.

Christmas Morning -

Oakland Temple Lights -

The Children's Museum

I took Aliyah, with a few of our friends, to the Phoenix Children's Museum. It was awesome. We spend 4 hours there and we could have easily stayed a few more. They had a mini grocery store and checkout, a mini kitchen and pizza oven, a tricycle "carwash," a noodle forest (thosuands of swimming noodles hung long ways to create a huge, dense forest), seed planting, an art room, race cars, a huge playhouse and playyard, and a lot LOT more. I am thinking I might get a membership and spend our hot summer days there.

Setting up the Tree

We were going to get a real tree this year since we have a house, but since we were going out of town for Christmas we thought it best to just use our artificial one. Aliyah was so excited when we got the Christmas tree and decorations out, she ran around the room shouting "Christmas! Christmas!" in between helping Bill set up the tree and decorating a branch.
