Christmas Parties

I'm a little behind with blogging, but let's see if I can't catch up today. At the beginning of December we had the Ropelato Christmas Party. We had Lasagna for dinner, played games, the little kids did a nativity play, then the little kids exchanged gifts. Here's some pictures from that party:
Mya was an angel for the nativity and she really got into dressing up. I wasn't sure if she would go for it, but had to have her halo and her belt on and every time her halo fell off, it was tragic. When she got to the manger scene, she really wanted the baby Jesus and cried for the baby....but Mary was a good mom and didn't give baby Jesus up. It was so funny. I think she did that because I told her to go sit by Baby Zaden, but I think she only heard the baby part.
Justin's cousins got him and his uncle Scott a gift based off of their last Elk hunt they went on. They got a target and bullets to help them out for the next hunt.
Mya got make-up and a Christmas book. She LOVED her make-up!!!

The Wayment Christmas Party was a lot of fun, too. Santa came first! Mya did a lot better this year with Santa. She was actually really excited to see him until it was time to sit on his lap, then she wasn't so sure. She did sit on his lap for a little bit though.
Then we had a ham dinner and exchanged gifts. What's a Christmas without the traditional pajamas from Grandma and Grandpa? Mya loved them and got a cool beach towel and bag for swimming that my Mom had gotten all the kids from her visit to Florida this year. She also got a cute shirt from her cousin Jess.My parents get us some food storage every year along with another present. This year we all got easy-up canopies. We were very excited since we had to borrow theirs this year when we went to Bear Lake.

One more Christmas Party! The Monday before Christmas Justin's mom had a dinner with just their family and did some gifts, played games and watched Elf. It was a fun night and Mya got a paint set (she's been very into painting lately) and pajamas!
