Christmas

Despite the traveling (which I hate) we had a wonderful time in New Mexico with Lance's family. Reagan played with her cousins, wore about 6 different Christmas outfits, enjoyed the white Christmas, and Santa came! We entertained ourselves by playing games, watching all the Avengers movies, making a puzzle, and eating all the food we could find. In other words, the perfect holiday :)

 Sunday best.

 A bunch of troublemakers :)

On Christmas Eve we did a Nativity. Reagan tried her best as the angel, but unfortunately her taped-up hem fell down and really threw her off...

 She really couldn't even walk.

 Mary was very tender...

 ...but Joseph was having some serious issues. I can't blame him. It's a hard job.

Kissin cousins!

 Lance shared the Christmas story (with his pony scepter...?)

 Then it was time for presents from the cousins and white elephant for the adults! We got a blender, so I felt like a winner.

 And Reagan loved her magnetic wooden paper dolls and coloring books almost as much as she loved unwrapping them!

 After some play time, it was off to bed so Santa could come! And he did not disappoint. Reagan must have been a good girl this year, because she got her own stick pony, wooden puzzles, an animal tractor set, and a block train! What a lucky girl! (Not such a lucky dad, who had to carry all the heavy wooden toys home in his carry on bag.)

 Merry family on Christmas.

 After a nap, Reagan enjoyed the Christmas snow. Little did we know what we would come home to find....
