Merry Christmas . . .

We had a wonderful Christmas at our house. McKay was one excited boy. He loved his new train pajamas and his Wall E video.

He also got a new Wall E computer toy. Did I tell you how much McKay loves Wall E?

Our house was full of love and enthusiasm on Christmas.

I love my dear husband and sweet son so much.

We spent Christmas Eve with my parents. I have the best parents ever.

Icicles Hanging . . .

These first two pictures were taken looking our front door on Christmas morning. We have had tons of snow this year, with a lot of icicles hanging.

These last two pictures were taken outside on Christmas Eve, when the lights were on. It was so beautiful with the icicles hanging down.

Pearson Family Christmas Party . . .

Steven, McKay and our great niece Brynlie.

We had a wonderful Family Christmas Party at my parents house with a lovely dinner. My Dad read the nativity story from Luke 2.

Some of the older kids played a Christmas song with bells. McKay wanted to participate so Jeff was kind enough to let McKay help him.

We had a crazy white elephant gift exchange. Some of the gifts were hilarious, but everyone had a great time.

Everyone had a fun evening together.

Decorations Galore . . .

Steven always hangs icicle lights around the ceiling, it looks so pretty in our living room.

When McKay was a infant, Steven gave this nativity to McKay and I. We love it.

Candles, candles, and more candles. Did I say we love candles.

You've got to have stockings hanging by the fireplace.

Steven, McKay and I are big into Christmas and decorating. We love the holidays.

We Love our Mandi . . .

We both love McKay.

We get together with McKay's birth Mom, Mandi, several times a year. She and her friend, Sarah came over and brought pizza for dinner. Mandi's grandma, Karen, was sick, but we enjoyed an evening with Mandi and Sarah.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow, Let it Snow . . .

McKay couldn't wait to go outside and play in the snow. We have had a lot of snowy weather here in Utah, but we will definitely have a white Christmas.

Ward Christmas Party . . .

We had a wonderful ward Christmas party with good food and entertainment. McKay always looks forward to sitting on Santa's lap.

Here McKay was actually sitting down for a few minutes before he started running around.

I love you Steven dear. You are a great husband and father.

Mom and Brynlie had matching colors.

Brynlie's outfit was adorable. She just turned 10 months old.

It is fun to be in the same ward with my parents, Jeff, Natalie and Brynlie.

We enjoyed having Coleman join us at the party.

Annual Friends Party . . .

Every year, several friends of mine get together for a Christmas party. This year only 3 of us were together. One friend passed away in the summer and another friend was out of town. We went to dinner at Red Lobster and then came over to my house to open gifts and have dessert. McKay wanted to get out of bed when Terri and Alisa came over and join in the fun. It was a great evening and I'm so glad we have this fun tradition. We started it about 17 years ago.

Waiting for Santa . . .

Steven and I took McKay to the BYU Christmas Party on Saturday. Steven watched from afar while McKay and I stood in line for an hour waiting for Santa. I'm glad McKay got the opportunity to sit on Santa's lap, so it was definitely worth the wait.

Off to Thanksgiving Point to see Christmas Lights . . .

Steven had a class on Thursday evening, so McKay, Mom, Dad and I decided to drive out to Thanksgiving Point to see the beautiful Christmas lights.

I loved all the lights, but particularly enjoyed the religious area, depicting the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ.

McKay was a really good boy.

Here we are in the car listening to Christmas music, looking at the beautiful lights and having a good time.

Day After Thanksgiving . . .

On Friday, after Thanksgiving, Steven and McKay put together a race car set and had a lot of fun racing cars.

McKay and I also made a turkey picture with marshmallows and icing.
