Christmas

We had a great Christmas with the Bishop side. Everyone was there and we especially loved seeing our Grossarth cousins after 6 months apart! The kids got along SO WELL this time- it was nice to see improvement in Lyla's ability to share with others. they loved making gingerbread men with Nana. They seriously spent an entire day making and decorating them all.
  
- Lyla was so excited for Santa to come so she could tell him that she wanted a Rapunzel doll.
                                        

 -I got to see Alyssa dance in the Nutcracker 3 times and she was amazing!! Lyla went twice and was memorized the whole time. She did many different parts, I was especially so excited to see her in the romantic Arabian couple dance- my very favorite of the whole show. She was gorgeous!
 -We did our traditional Christmas Eve ice skating. Lyla loved it some moments and hated it at other times, but she was a good sport.







- Lyla was so thrilled to play Mary when we acted out the nativity. 





 -Lyla went and saw baby Jesus laying in the bed of straw that she helped to fill by doing nice things for others



 -Paul went way overboard and got me an ipod- so unexpected!! I love it and Lyla and I use it all the time. We loved our time together and have so many great memories of all we did.
