Christmas came early!

We love packages! A very special package came in the mail the other day...early Christmas presents from Tutu and Dadu! A couple years ago my parents gave us the Little People Nativity. It was so fun to bring out this year again. My parents added to the Nativity set this year with the Inn at Bethlehem and it is so cute! They also got us the little drummer boy and the wise men extension but those are for next Christmas...so wise of them). We have a blast acting out that holy night. He knows the story so well now.

Also in the package was a DVD of last year's performance of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the King's Singers. We LOVE watching and listening to it. Jorgen loves the dancers and Shelley loves that we have music on and are dancing around her while she rolls around and watches us. How I love this time of year!

Thanks Tutu and Dadu!!

if your dad had any say it would be Christmas all year long! can't say i really blame him - the music is choice and the Christmas Spirit of serving others and remembering who is at the center of our lives is wonderful to focus on and experience!

i love the picture with jorgen hugging shelley - such sweet spirits you have been blessed with. of course they have also been blessed with sweet spirits for parents! love you

So fun! I will have to add to my little people nativity as well. You have such wonderful parents and I know they are accomplishing so much good in far away Russia! Shelley and Jorgen are so absolutely charming! Can't wait to see you all!
