We sure miss our extended families during the holidays, but it is so nice to have friends who are like family to share them with. We spent Christmas Eve at the Martin's with the Cameron's too. Laura and Mary are sisters and I've just adopting myself into their family.
Me, Laura, and Mary (2 of my favorite gals in the world).
Teague was snuggling with Leonard, and Kevin decided to join them =).
The missionaries, Elder Yates and Elder Eslick joined us for a delicious dinner of homemade pizzas.
After eating, we sang Christmas carols. We started with the youngest and we each took a turn choosing the song for all of us to sing. It was really fun and I loved holding 2 little sweet babies on my lap again.
Then it was time to act out the nativity story. Emma made a lovely Mary, and Kaleb was Joseph, with the sweet little baby Jesus.
The shepherds and sheep were astonished by the appearance of the angels (isn't Noe a cute little lamb?)
The little wise guys- so cute!
The finale of the evening was when the kids all opened up new pajamas. Aren't they so cute and festive?
The beautiful Martin family.
The beautiful Cameron family.
The beautiful Reil family too.
4 old friends. Kaleb and Noe started having play dates with Emma back when they were all just 10 months old. Quinn joined the group about a year and a half later. If you look above Emma's head you'll see a picture of the 4 of them that was taken back in 2004. It's so nice to have good friends!
