Christmas Celebrations!
We spent lots of time at the theater with the girls in "A Christmas With Scrooge". I forgot to take pictures until the last day, so I only have pics of Marin, but here is a cute one of our poor English girl!
We did our usual reading of the Christmas story from Luke 2 on Christmas Eve- here are the "wise men"- or wise guys and gal as we like to call them...
Christmas morning- lining up to go downstairs and see what Santa brought in our cute pjs from Nana.

Amber favorite present- Dad caved and gave her a cell phone! It is now permanent fixture to Amber's body!

Justin's 2 favorite gifts- a Wii (here is a pic from our 12 person tennis tournament), and his Texas blanket mom and Amber made. Notice the Texas shirts both boys are wearing as well...Ryan was a little nervous that they are loving Texas too much- what about BYU?

Elf Ben got a new bike and loves beating Mom at the Wii- I have won once! I just thought this picture was funny, so I put it on...


Grace loved her presents, loved playing with the wrappings, bags and bows. She is walking everywhere and loves to explore. Luckily she didn't rip everything off the tree and she actually left all the presents alone until Christmas morning! What a good girl!

New Year's Eve was spent at our house, with a party, and Uncle Kevin making a movie about how I've lost my mind! It was fun!- Thanks to all who were good sports and were in a movie even though they thought they were just coming over for a party!

ps--aren't MOST nativities irreverent? especially when it comes to the wise men. case in point...the one we did with the missionaries. one of them had had his ear pierced before his mission so we put one of mom's GIANT earrings in his ear. nice!
