Christmas

Lucky for us, my parents made it possible for us to go to Utah for Christmas. It was so great to be "home" during the holidays. We had a great time, although we did miss our other family members who were missing (i.e. Jonathan, Bree and the girls, Nathan, Julianne and Addison and Elder Taylor, who comes home in less than a month!) We filled our time with...

Playing in the snow, building a snowman...

Hugging the snowman...


Seeing Temple Square with the Anderson's





-Swimming at the Bountiful Rec Center
-Seeing Tangled (LOVED that movie)
-Relaxing
-Playing Quelfs (funniest game EVER) and Are you Smarter than a 5th grader
-EATING
-Hanging out in the craft room
-Family Christmas parties
-Trip to the Temple and afterwards Mandarin (a MUST)
-Playing legos (Collin's new interest)
-And just being together


Christmas Eve
(watching Polar Express)

Acting out the Nativity scene




Sprinkling "Reindeer Dust" (Thanks, Carson!)

Writing notes to Santa and leaving cookies and milk
Christmas Morning!
(like so many other years, I wish I would have taken more pictures---maybe one year I'm going to do it better....maybe) We had a morning full of Zhu Zhu Pets, Barbies, Super Hero's, MobiGO, Elmo and Weebles....Super lucky kids

The girls in our family have a LARGE sweet tooth :)

how cute are your kids?!
little owen is not so little ... he's changed so much since i last saw pics.

it would have been fun to see you in utah but i knew you were probably busy with family ... maybe next time?!

miss ya!

ps - sorry if the bib edges frayed a lot when you first washed them. i made some for simon (just like owen's) and had to trim quite a few strings after i washed them. but at least they are soft right? :)
