Christmas 2012

Woke up Christmas Eve day to a world of white. It was so beautiful! The snow was gently falling to the ground; big, fat flakes of white. So peaceful. A perfect drive for Christmas Eve.

Lyle and Daddy spent some time fiddling with the guitar;  Daddy teaching Lyle some chords and Lyle trying them out.

Christmas Eve jammies are a tradition in the Visarraga household.  Brenna is a stink this year and decided to switch loyalties from BYU to the U.  Boooo!

Sean opened his Santa present on Christmas morning and "fainted".  An iPod touch!  He's been begging for one!

 

Ava's Santa present was a new kitchen with food and dishes.  She loves to pretend to cook.  Santa brought the family a WiiU (we haven't bought a gaming system since the N64, and we bought THAT at the pawn shop). 

 

It was a fabulous Christmas and thought this post is short I'm still enjoying looking at my Christmas tree all lit up in the dark living room.

Sunday Morning

We were out of town for the Sunday before Christmas this year (Lyle's aunt Kelari was baptized and confirmed) so Sean and Ava wore their Christmas outfits at a ward they've never been to before. But, they looked great!

Decorating

The day after Thanksgiving was spent putting away our fall decorations and bringing out the Christmas decorations.  Ava would hand me hangers for the ornaments and then try to put one on herself...resulting in precariously balanced ornaments.  She is still twisting and twirling them on the branches to see the reflection of the lights off the glass and glitter.  All we need now is for Lyle and Sean to put up the outside decorations and lights!  I love Christmastime and the warmth, love and peace it brings into society and my home.
