Christmas time was MAGIC for Zanna this year!
She absoluetly adored seeing all of the Christmas lights and all of the Christmas Trees.
I could not keep her hands off of the decorations.
Her favorite stuffed animal was a cute little snowman Grandma Alta gave us.
She took him to bed with her every night.
As we would drive from place to place in the evenings Zanna would say "Hi tisole lights. (tisole=Christmas... ha ha)
She made Jathan say hi to them too. If he missed even one house... ONE house, she would say "Daddy! Hi tisole lights" Which he then had to say as well.
Here she is playing by our Christmas trees.

We spent Christmas Eve day with my family at Carolynn and Corby's house.
My parents handed out our super cute Christmas jamies.
We drew names with all of my siblings and did a "Home Made" Christmas.
It was really fun to see the gifts everyone made for eachother.
Jathan... always pulling a funny face.

Here are all the home made gifts. I made Jared a belt with his name engraved in it. Western style. Christian made Amanda a frame with pictures of all of her children signing I LOVE YOU! Hannah made Corby a leather and beaded bracelet. Joshua made Carolynn a chest with glass knobs. Jathan welded Christian a bike stand for two bikes. Mikelle mad Joshua a collage of pictures of him and his kiddos. Carolynn made Melissa a shirt with a beaded flour. Amanda made Jathan a barnwood picture frame with a picture beautiful pic of Hebgen Lake. Gretchen made me a frame with pictures of my little family. Jared made Gretchen a barnwood frame with a picture of Huckleberry bushes. Corby made Mikelle a picture book of Mikelle with all of our family and Melissa made Hannah a jewlery box with cute glass knobs.
Then we went to the Garretts and had a delicious Christmas Eve meal of Crab and Steak!
Afterwards we exchanged gifts and opened our Christmas Jamies.
The girls had Zebra jamies, so cute.
The boys got comfy fleece jamies.
Zanna would not stay away from this gingerbread house Meagan made.
I don't blame her. It looks delicious.
