The Scoville Familly: Reese's first Christmas....

I had to post a lot of pictures because there were too many to choose from. We had so much fun celebrating Christmas this year as a family! A baby definitely reminds me of the true meaning of Christmas! She didn't care about gifts, but just loved the lights and singing about Christ birth and just being together as a family. For the past couple of years, Ron and I have not really bought each other gifts for Christmas because we were saving to adopt. Well, we didn't need to really buy gifts this year either because we had been given the gift we have been saving for. Truly she is the greatest gift and we enjoyed every minute celebrating Christmas together.

I was so excited to give Reese this dress I made for her for Christmas. ( Not the best picture) We went to church at Ron's parents ward so we could go to the 9:00 church. It was great for getting to all the families, but Reese was so tired! Usually in the morning, she gets so excited when I walk in her room to get her in the morning, but I had to wake her up on Christmas morning and she looked up at me, whimpered, then lied back down:( It was so sad! She at least was able to take a few cat naps between opening up gifts at all of the grandparents houses. Reese loved to chew on all of her gifts and tried to eat all of her wrapping paper.

Christmas Eve is always fun at Grandma & Grandpa Scoville's! Ron's mom always makes a really yummy dinner, then we usually sing Christmas hymns, the kids act out the nativity, and then we play chimes and read stories. It was getting a little late this year, so Reese had to go to bed, but it was a fun Christmas Eve.
