Merry Christmas!

We hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas! We enjoyed ourselves and wanted to share a few of the highlights...

We have loved having Korbin as the newest member of our family and the girls both love being BIG sisters.
Kara was able to be in two nativities this year. The first one was for pre-school and she was able to be the angel when they visited a nursing home and then she was a wise man when they performed for the family party, as seen in this picture.
Our primary also did a nativity for the ward Christmas party and Kara was a member of the angel choir. She can be seen on the far right.
Grandma Maka had the girls over to make ornaments and Christmas cookies. I think that the girls ate more frosting than ended up on the cookies, but hey isn't that the best part about making cookies?
Christmas day was a lot of fun for us, especially with having three kids at home now. Korbin did not enjoy the festivities nearly as much as the girls, but he will definitely enjoy all the gifts.
The girls received a lot of fun presents this year. Brian blew this up in our living room and the girls had a lot of fun playing in it. It is too bad that we don't have more room and can't keep it blown up all the time.
Grandpa Max and Maka surprised the kids with this awesome dinosaur. It took a little coaxing, but after a little while Kara jumped on and loves it. Kassi on the other hand is still a little frightened.
Kassi prefers a ride that is a little more tame...
Kassi's favorite gift was a pink Leapster, so she could be just like her big sister.
Kara received many greats gifts, but if you ask her what her favorite part of Christmas was, she will reply "my bubble gum Xylitol gum" (she has been telling us that she needs to chew it everyday ever since her grandpa told her that it was good for her teeth) 
We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and have a Happy New Year.
