Christmas Catch-Up

It was so fun getting to spend our very first Christmas together this year! I have waited so long for this and it was everything I thought it would be!

We celebrated early with the Langston's the Sunday before Christmas! We had gotten everyone their gifts right after Thanksgiving and I had been SO excited to give them to them. It will be fun to see how they actually spend Christmas day next year when we get to spend it with them. We'll also get to skype/call Jase's cute sister, Jessica, because she will be out serving her mission in Texas! Bitter sweet!

We headed up North to spend Christmas day with my family this year. We were able to make it Monday night to the big "Campbell Christmas Party" at my grandmas house where we get to dress up for the Nativity, share our talents, and sit on Santa's Lap. Neither Jase or I did a talent this year, but Jase played the piano last year (and he wasn't even officially family yet) and it was so good that I think he was okay for him to take a year off. (; As for me, I don't really have any excuse. Maybe next year (;

Jase this year got to dress up as a Shepard for the Nativity. Nixon and I were his sheep! My dad thought he was funny and he put on the angel costume. Mom was a king, Ry was a king or shepard (can't remember), and Shay and Nick were Mary and Joseph!

This was Nixon's talent, he was definitely the life of the party!

Christmas Eve we did the usual, we had lots of munchies and food to snack on all night and we played games! It was a lot of fun!

Christmas morning was fun like always! It was so great that all of my family was there and we got to spend that day together. We sure missed everyone in Jase's family though! I'm sure it was hard on him being away from this year but he was a great sport and I think he really enjoyed spending Christmas with my family this year.

There were plenty of presents for everyone. Nixon got a new basketball hoop that he was OBSESSED with. It was hard to get him to open anything else after he saw that. It was so fun to see him excited that morning and I can't wait to see him be more and more excited each year as he gets older!

Mine and Jase's Christmas presents consisted of new tools for our house, a nice camera, clothes, watches, and more. We spoiled ourselves this year...

We headed back down to St. George the next day to get ready for our big trip to Mexico! I wish we could have stayed longer to spend more time with everyone but I'm so glad we got to spend the time with them that we did! Holiday's are the best times!
