The kids got to choose between an angel or stable animal for the primary's Nativity performance. Kaylee was an angel, Regan was a cow, and V was a zebra. The Primary President needed to know what the kids picked, and when I said the V wanted to be a zebra she was more than fine with it. Because why can't there be a zebra at the stable?

Regan flipped out because he wanted to stand by his buddy Gillian and someone beat him to it. So he left the performance to pout about it for a while.

IMG_7835 IMG_7836 IMG_7838 IMG_7842 IMG_7850Jon made me an awesome bath book holder, and got me goodies to go with it! IMG_7854 IMG_7856Kaylee randomly asked to write Santa a wish list letter. Post shopping. I panicked. Her list: A wonder Woman doll, a Wonder Woman book, a purple dress.

When she was done I was SO happy. She was getting everything on her list. EXCEPT the purple dress. I told her that since she recently got a new purple dress Santa would surprise her with something. She was fine with that.IMG_7858Months ago Nicole gave me a bag of dresses for Kaylee to grow into. I put them in the back of the closet to save. Christmas miracle and answered prayers, and one thrilled and grateful little girl! She hugged her "new" dress for minutes, many minutes before deciding to open more gifts.IMG_7867 IMG_7872 IMG_7876 IMG_7878These two got each other new action figures. I love this picture of them thanking each other. IMG_7879 IMG_7882My new bath book board and ambience.  Jon rocks! IMG_7889I made the kids new hooded towels. These things are massive. I used bath sheets, and love how they turned out. IMG_7890

IMG_7825 IMG_7900The kids got Jon new pajama pants. IMG_7905And cookie sheets. IMG_7908French toast feast guarded by his many Batman figures.  You can never have too many Batman figures.IMG_7918

Seven hours later we were finally in Utah opening more presents.
