Christmas Eve early afternoon we decided to take the kids to the "cheap" theater and see Small Foot. The boys refused to let me take their picture!
When we got home I started making our pizza dough that we would need later. I puposely made extra so the we could have a cinnamon roll wreath for breakfast morning.
This cutie pie was a great help. We keep teasing her that all she wants for Christmas this year is her 2 front teeth!
It's going to be yummy!
Last year we invited Grandpa and Grandma Heaton to spend Christmas Eve with us. The kids had so much fun last year with them that we did it again.
Everyone was able to make their very own mini pizza.
After dinner someone knocked on our door.
This has never happened to us before... It was Santa!
Apparently Santa is a close friend to Grandma Heaton.
The little kids could hard believe that Santa had come to our house.
After Santa left we made our Graham Cracker Natitvity scenes. Uncle Kirk was visiting Grandma and Grandpa so he came along too.
Maddie's final project.

The toothpicks started out representing the arrows that were shot at Samuel the Lamanite. Then it quickly turned into a porqupine on the roof there to protect baby Jesus from the soliders sent to kill every baby.

We had Grandma and Grandpa open our gifts to them. We gave Grandma a plaque that said "I choose Joy". Grandpa got a box of shotgun shells and .22 bullets.
We sure enjoy our one on one time with Grandma and Grandpa. It's nice having them living in Cedar City. Just a little bit closer to us.
We ended our night opening our new matching p.j's (a request by Maddie)
and wathcing the 4th Wise Man together.
Before going to bed the kids made sure to leave treats our for Santa and his reindeer with a little note.
This Christmas Season has been so less hectic than years past. I think we've all enjoyed the season a little bit better. I have learned this year that less is more, especially during the December month.
Merry Christmas!
