Gingerbread houses! Which basically went like this: Will tried to put as many sweets as possible onto his gingerbread house. Emma tried to put as many sweets as possible into her mouth. And Mom and Dad helped with the frosting and eventually had to hide the leftover candy from Emma.
At the very end, Emma started crying. When we asked her what she needed she sniffed sadly and said, "Mo candy."

As part of our family tradition (passed on by my family) Taylor made Christmas Eve dinner. And not just any dinner--he made baked potatoes, broccoli, and homemade chicken cordon bleu. Yep, he's definitely a keeper. And I even managed to enjoy it despite morning sickness.
Another reason Taylor is the greatest husband ever: he took care of all the Christmas presents this year! I was so exhausted and sick from pregnancy all month so he just took care of everything. All I had to do was wrap them and put them underneath our beautiful tree on Christmas Eve.
After dinner we watched the Nativity video on lds.org and used our new African nativity set (from my parents) to enact the story of Christ's birth with the kids. We had actually talked about the story with Will a lot throughout the month so he knew it pretty well, but now thanks to the nativity set I think both kids think that zebras and giraffes were part of the original story :)
Your tree is beautiful! Taylor is a wonderful thoughtful husband. Loved the Gingerbread houses. Best picture of Emma and her reflection in the window. You are so gifted!
