First, if you're tired of seeing pictures of Christmas, read no further.
If you've chosen to continue, let me show you some of our favorite Christmastime things:
1. Not participating in the family nativity on Christmas Eve.
Esmé was slated to play an angel abiding over Christ's birth. She chose instead to play the angel who stays behind in heaven to hold down the fort while everyone else goes abiding.
2. Stairs. We don't have stairs at our house, but all our grandpa's and grandma's do. Anytime Esmé sees stairs, she'll enlist the closest person around to help her walk up and down them. All day long. Grandpa was usually a key player in this activity.

3. Grandpas and Grandmas, Tutus and Papa Tutus | | |
 |
| 4. Going to church on Christmas. (And going home after only one meeting so we can eat candy and open presents.) |
5. So many toys!
6. Idaho! Where Tutu and Papa Tutu have a brand new Star Wars room that we got to decorate and sleep in.
Each action figure scene was carefully and lovingly crafted by Roo.
7. Celebrating New Year's at 6:45 pm. That goes for me and Roo, too...
8. More presents!
9. Pies.
10. Seeing so many fun aunts, uncles, cousins, and grandparents! (And our long-lost pets, Lando, Leia, and Chase, who, by the way, are thriving in the clear mountain air.)

Such cute pictures! Such good times! Thanks you so much for making the trek out to Utah. Your visit certainly made our holiday season brighter! And you are probably right about the stay in Heaven angels.
So cute! I think Esmé was smart to play the angel who holds down the fort...I think we often forget about those who did that. Nice work, Esmé. Oh, and that Star Wars room is pretty cool!
Darling! Thanks for the shoutout too hahah. It was so fun to have you guys visit!
Delightful to see Christmas again with Esme. Thanks for sharing. Was that Pres. Kimball in the picture with Yoda?
