We had a great Christmas season. We stuck around Virginia so we actually got out our decorations and got a tree and the girls loved it. They were at such fun ages this year. They played with all the music decorations for the first week and spent hours perched on the piano playing with the nativity. All month we did an advent calendar from the Friend magazine where we got to put an ornament on a paper tree and read a scripture they loved doing it every night. The week before Christmas my parents and little sister came out and we all spent the week in Williamsburg. It was so fun. We did some relaxing, spent a couple days in Colonial Williamsburg, and an evening at Busch Garden's Chrismastown. It was all amazing. I knew my mom and Katie were taking a lot of pictures so I slacked off, I need to get some copies. Aunt Katie taught the girls, "I want a hippopotamus for Christmas," and they sang it everywhere we went. It was so much fun having them here, we were sad they had to go. They left Christmas Eve and we came back to Richmond. It was fun to actually be at our own house for Christmas Eve and Christmas morning. The girls were so excited and had so much fun.
We got a little snow on Christmas night, for the girls to enjoy.
Reading her new scriptures. 
Gifts from Santa.
We let the girls each be Mary and ride to Bethlehem. I was the Shepard, we were lacking a few other key roles, but we made it work. They really enjoyed it.
