We of course had to go and play in the mountain snow. I didn't pack accordingly and had to improvise. We found these huge boots in the closet and stuffed the toes with Kleenex so that they would fit. The kids had a blast in the snow.

We got to surprise my brother Brent. Hecame home from his mission in Texas McAllen. Megan and I went to the airport to pick him up. It was so good to see him after two long years. He had a great mission.

Afterwards we frosted cookies for Santa don't they look yummy!

PAJAMAS it is our tradition that we open PJ's on Christmas Eve.

We opened our Christmas Eve present. What do you think it is?

This was our Mary and Joseph. They didn't wanted to get dressed for the ocassion.

Sarah was the most beautiful Angel and star. They had a lot of fun.

On Christmas Eve we did the Nativity and acted it out with the kids. This is our family tradition and the kids have a lot of fun. The two boys were the shepards and the wise men. Don't they look cute.

These are my neices Morgan, Lauren and of course Sarah. They all wanted their finger and toes painted red for Christmas. Lots of fun.

HO, HO, HO Santa came and visited all the good little girls and boys. Sarah said she wants a pink IPOD like mommy, Joshua doesn't want much just everything electronic, and Caleb said he wanted a DS. We will have to see what he will bring come Christmas day.

It was to cute they sang Once There Was A Snowman. One of there favorite songs because you get to melt onto the floor.

We got to go to Kevin and Carrie's ward Christmas party. It was fun to see old friends. Lauren and Sarah were best of friends the whole time.

It snowed in Apple Valley. The kids were so excited to see snow that they couldn't wait to get out there and play. We got to stay with Kevin and Carrie for a couple days and play with Lauren. It was a blast.

This is us on the airplane. They were the best kids for having to fly 5 hrs the first leg and then another hour. Thank goodness for DVD players. Joshuas poor nose had to have a bandaid because is glasses got adjusted a little to tight.
