Christmas Eve

This was the first Christmas since we've been married that we didn't travel and it was AMAZING! The whole season was more peaceful knowing we wouldn't be dealing with packing winter clothes and presents, flying with babies, leaving our home over the holidays, and all the mess that goes with the afore mentioned. We loved being home for the holidays without the travel.


Here is Lily wearing her special Christmas Eve outfit. She looked adorable in her little Candy Cane shirt and red pants. I sure love having a girl to dress up!

This Christmas Eve we enjoyed the Nativity Pagent with the Cox cousins. The Robertsons came too and brought along Nativity costumes made by my mom and my Grandma Robertson shortly before Grandma R. passed away. They were beautiful and added a special element to our pagent, knowing Grandma had a hand in it too. Here is McKay as a shepherd.

Lily played Baby Jesus this year.

After the pagent we went to the St. George Tabernacle where BJ and I presented the Christmas Eve program. We sang 6 of our favorite Christmas duets and joined the audience in singing several other favorite Christmas Carols.

Here's a close up of use dressed for the performance. We really love to perform together and it was a pleasure to be able to do so on Christmas Eve.

After all the singing we returned to Nana and Papa's house where we all got our traditional made-by-Nana matching pajama pants. We put the kids to bed and had a fun time wrapping presents and watching Christmas movies together.
