(He hid in Jane and Megan's stockings, too, I just missed pictures on those days.)
We made it to our new ward just in time for the Ward Christmas party. Good dinner, good company.
Ben found a new way to eat the roll.
Apparently Dad approved of the trick and joined in.
Even better--a special visitor came right at the end of the party!
Don't you just love how Jane was wrapping Santa's beard around her fingers?
We had a Family Home Evening lesson last week about the story of Christ's birth. Ben was particularly entranced with the nativity set we used to act out the story.
In fact, he kept himself nicely entertained while the rest of us made cotton ball snowmen. Since it just doesn't snow in Albuquerque.
We rounded out that night with doughnuts.
New Christmas outfits for church!
Megan's dress was this year's prize find on Day After Thanksgiving sales--$44 price tag, I paid $6.60 on clearance. So so perfect.
On Christmas Eve, we had a party with a family in our new ward. Go me for inviting new people over! It worked out really nicely--they didn't have anywhere to be, we didn't have anywhere to be, and our kids are the same ages. Delightful.
After a lovely dinner of ham and potatoes fabulously prepared by Christopher, we helped the kids decorate cookies.
Then we watched How the Grinch Stole Christmas. The girls were super cute all sitting together on the couch.
I wanted to get a picture of Ben, but anytime I told him to say cheese, he did this.
The pajama fairy came during the party--how sneaky of her.
Merry Christmas!
