I guess I was just to big and slow to get my camera out much over the holiday. We spent five days at Mike's parent's home and I only have pictures from Christmas eve and Christmas day. They are, however, pictures that melt my heart!
Christmas Eve we had a small talent show. Andrew decided he and his brothers would sing, "I Love to See the Temple." I should really upload the video. They sang so sweetly and did a great job.
Of course we reenacted the nativity in classic Christensen fashion. Andrew was a sweet inn keeper who told Joesph and Mary there was a manger out back they could use. Tanner was a short-lived angel-- he didn't enjoy his costume. And Reid, a very proud wise man, trading his traditional hat from Israel for Andrew's BYU hat! 
Opening new jammies from grandma and grandpa is such a treat, especially when you get to hug them in person! 
Here's the crowd, ready to check out the goods! The rest of the pictures are a classic Christmas morning. Chocolate before 8 a.m., ripping open gifts, playing with trains, getting your very own BYU hat, and watching the magic of little people being thrilled with anything they open. I love it!
Pictures not included from our time with family: - women knitting/crocheting (still not sure what the difference is) flowers and hats
- Mike skiing with his siblings
- Andrew playing for hours on end with cousins and seeming so grown up
- Tanner and Reid up all night our first night there, ugh!
- late night conversations about Adam's love life
- laughing so hard while playing games I thought I was going to go into labor
- great conversations about parenting, marriage, and life
- more food than we should have eaten

knitting has two straight needles, crocheting has one hooked.
