Christmas 2013

We had a really nice Christmas this year.  On Christmas Eve we went for a hike around Folsom Lake.  The lake is really low, but it is still beautiful.
 Not sure what Sarah is doing in this picture.  :)
 Holly and Pine.  Someone decorated the forest for Christmas.

 We sat on a stone wall and ate some apples while looking out at the lake.

 Lily picked some Mistletoe.

 After our hike we went back home and got ready for Mark and EJ to come.  We made lots of yummy treats for our dinner that night.  Mark and EJ brought lots of yummy food too. 
 It was nice to have them here and be with family.
 The classy corn dogs were for Alex to eat.  :)
 That night we acted out our nativity play.  Lily was an angel.  Alex, Sarah, and Daddy were shepherds.  Uncle Mark and Aunt EJ were Joseph and Mary.  Mommy got to be the narrator this year. 

 After our nativity, we sang lots of Christmas songs until everyone was tired.  It wasn't long before the kids were tired and wanted to go to bed, so Christmas Morning would come. 
 Christmas morning was fun.  The kids all liked opening their presents and then playing with them afterwards.  Lily loved her teddy bear. She named him Cozy Lozy.  
 That was all she asked Santa for this year.

Lily spent several hours just like this.  Playing in her new doll house.  Merry Christmas!
