Christmas Break

Matt and I were given the privilege to be Mary and Joseph in the Briggs nativity this year. I thought we looked the part pretty well.

Matt played Santa at our ward Christmas party and my work Christmas party this year. He really makes the best Santa. He is tall, jolly, and just sweet with the kids and the old folk. I don't know if the kids were more excited to see Santa or if the residents as work were- toss up.



Work Christmas Party, we danced the night away!

Christmas lights on temple square, with a super exciting visit with Sister Sessions whom we love dearly.

Christmas Break has been a wonderful joy. We've spent time at both houses and love being in Boise. Christmas morning was spent at Matt's house. We did all of the Briggs' traditions, including watching Garfield's Christmas, a big nice dinner, and the nativity. Both Rachel and Amy went to BYU Jerusalem, so our Nativity costumes have transformed into authentic and real middle eastern attire. Of course Matt's parents asked me and Matt to be Mary and Joseph because I'm expecting. It was really fun, in fact Matt actually wore a keep (the little Jewish hat).

After Christmas morning Matt's family went skiing so we got to go to my house on Christmas too. It was super fun because we did all of my traditions as well. A big nice dinner, we played the Grinch game, and did our Christmas Program which included bells and chimes.

Brian and Lisa brought little baby Abigail home today. We left Church early to go and see them off. She's up to 5 lbs. and is the cutest thing ever.
