Christmas 2009

We had three days of Christmas this year. On the 23rd we had my family Christmas party at my parent's house. We had a big meal, had a talent show, played our annual left, right gift game, and my Dad talked to us a little bit about the Joseph Smith project he's been working on the last ten years. He gave each of us kids one of his books. I swear the thing weighs 8 pounds at least! It's neat to have a copy of something he's worked so hard on. Here's just a few of the pictures from that party, I forgot to take pictures until everyone was about to leave!




On Christmas Eve we had a party with Shaun's mom and all the brothers. It was at our house this year and we had a yummy lasagna dinner and then we exchanged gifts. Patsy and Jay got Isaak this cute rocking horse. It makes fun horsey noises and he loves it.




Here's Patsy and Jay...

Our family.....


This is our living room later that night after Santa paid us a visit...
On Christmas morning we opened presents for about an hour. I think Isaak got through two, maybe three presents because he would open one, play with it for about half an hour, then move on to the next one. Then we went to Ric and Jo's for their Christmas breakfast and gift exchange. Here's Brett, Lauren, and Logan...

Adam and Lila...


Shaun, Isaak, and Ashy





We had such a wonderful Christmas! Christmas afternoon my parents came to visit and see what we had gotten from Santa. That evening we went to Scott and Jae's house for a party. Then on Saturday Darin and Rachelle came to stay at our house. We went sledding, ate lots of junk, and watched movies. They stayed overnight and left around noon on Sunday. So much fun! Now it's time to look forward to the New Year and Birthday months!
