Christmas Eve
Connor and I made these reindeer cookies for Santa and Mrs. Claus. They were DELICIOUS!!!
Cutie Briella ready for Christmas in her Christmas pajamas.
After our Christmas Eve dinner (which was a Minetto traditional Italian feast - manicotti, Christmas jello, rolls, and salad) we acted out the Nativity (Booth family tradition). The missionaries joined us which was great because we definitely needed more people in our Nativity. Matt loved doing this growing up so it was a 'must have' for our new family traditions. :) I guess my acting skills will come out one way or another. :) (Ya right, acting skills, who am I kidding!)
Connor's letter to Santa, plate of cookies for Santa and Mrs. Claus,
he was always sure to include her. :) And his Christmas list,
just in case Santa forgot. :)

Christmas Morning!
We had church at 9am so we decided to only open our stocking before church. He was really excited for the Hot-wheels cars.
Our Christmas family photo
Connor was really excited (and surprised) to get a camera. He LOVES taking pictures - maybe we have a future photographer on our hands.
Matt enjoying his Mom's homemade caramels. They are DELICIOUS! (As you can tell!)
Briella 'opening' her Christmas present. Connor opened all the rest.
Connor was funny about Christmas. He loved just opening the presents. Once he opened the gift he would glance at it say something nice and then move right on to the next one. He just wanted to open them all (which he pretty much did).
It was nice having Christmas here in Ohio with just our family. (A little more relaxed not traveling and so nice having our own beds to sleep in on Christmas Eve!) I did miss my family in Oregon, but I guess this means I'm growing up and establishing my own family memories.
