Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas in Utah with both of our families. For the first time in a year and a half all of my family was together and we had an absolute blast .... Tienna had a blast with her little cousins and Madelin and Halle were wonderful to be so helpful. Thanks again Jessie for the cute pictures you took of all the girls!

The whole Pollei clan Christmas morning.

Tienna playing with the wrapping paper again.

We were also lucky enough to have Josh's sister Jessica and her family in town for Christmas too. Isaac and Lily were so fun to see - we had never met Lily before and Isaac had gotten so big.

Tienna and Lily are only 4 weeks apart in age.

Christmas Eve and Christmas Day we spent time with both families as well as my grandparent's. We loved being able to see so much family while we were in town. Christmas Eve we had a little nativity with my family .... it was one of those productions that was just as much for the adults as it was for the kids. Eveyone had their part and did wonderful. We also had a pinata which is something I had every Christmas growing up with all the cousins on my mom's side. Grandpa Moffat was even a good sport and helped everyone take turns dividing the candy so things were fair just like he used to.

The 3 Wise People

Madelin and Halle as the shepherds.

Tienna and I were angels.

The whole crew - including Grandpa Moffat (narrator), Heather (costume director) and Grandma Moffat.

Last but not least, dad got roped into being the donkey - long ears and all.

Christmas Day we also got to spend some time with the Pollei side of the family at Grandma and Papa's. While we were eating Josh and I had Tienna sitting on the floor next to our chairs suddenly she grabbed onto the leg of my chair and pulled herself up so she was standing. I can't believe how big she is getting!!!!

More than anything this holdiay Josh and I have both been so greatful for loving family, wonderful friends and the spirit of the Savior. We are so greatful for the gospel in our lives and the many ways it blesses our lives. We are so lucky to have the knowledge we do and such a beautiful daughter; she brings us so much joy and happiness!
