O Come, All Ye Faithful

Miranda's saxophone performance:



Carlie's presentation in school:



The littlest learns how to kneel and fold arms for prayers!



Morgan is in Westfield Singers, a very elite group that performs at special times during the year.  =)



I get an iPad for my birthday!



H&K show off their dance skills at their in-house performance.







Miranda is in a school play:



We start gathering presents on the arch for CHRISTMAS!!!



Ward breakfast with Santa!





Then we go to a CABIN with all the Madsens right after Tyler gets home from his mission to the Ukraine.  What a wonderful time to have everyone together again!!















































Then we run home to celebrate the big day together.

Merry Christmas!
The arch with the presents on top:

Taking the presents down:

By the stockings:


By the family tree:


Waiting to go downstairs:
Wait.  Are we in Bizarro World????

Let's try that again:
The arch with the presents on top. 
Maybe next time, I won't lie on the carpet,
so we can see the gifts, too!

Taking the presents down and arranging them under the tree
by what presents they will give to everyone:

The token picture by the stockings
to see how big the children are getting every year:

 Down by the tree for the same reason:

Been to EIGHT O'CLOCK church already,
and back into our new pj's, waiting to go downstairs!




Rounding the corner to see all the surprises:

Princess bikes:

BYU Cougar hats:


This little angel did not care about any other presents,
once he realized this was for him:

Barbies!

Halle & her jewelry:  You think this girl feels like a princess?

Temple pictures for their bedrooms
from Grandma & Grandpa Levie:

Aprons for everyone from Mommy:

Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! I love to see pictures of your family, I noticed there were none of YOU!! I think you should show us what you got for Christmas...
I love that you came home from church and got back in pjs and that the kids still had to wait to come down the stairs!
And I like Miranda's braces. :# See? We're in the club together now!
