Fun Holidays

We so enjoyed being with everyone for the holidays and as always, your thoughts turn to those not here and you miss them much more. We had a great time with Kim and Daniel and family staying with us--they had to leave too soon though. Daniel was a good sport to tolerate the cold. Daniel& Kim treated us this year to a great, soon to be traditional Christmas breakfast. Ben broke my house in with the spit up (ha!) Look at that great grin and the hair on his head--it disappeared! And, little James broke in Christie and Darren's toilet by stuffing 2 toothbrushes and a tube of toothpaste in the trap and flushing it. (Darren had the fun job of finding it all) He has that adorable and innocent smile going though--hard to get too upset! Tyler kept us laughing. My favorite was after the temple lights when we went to eat. Tyler was eating his French fries and told us his dad made french fries and proceeded to describe the process he used with sprite and the microwave, etc. So, when Daniel came over my curiosity got the best of me and I asked Daniel how he made them. Daniel told Tyler that he was silly, he didn't make fries like that to which Tyler matter of factly told us that "My dad's silly. He's just making a lie" Kylie was so much fun such a great helper and big sister and made us lots of pictures that we love! John & Laura had a sleepover on Christmas Eve so it was fun for us to share in their Christmas morning. (We hope to get another bedroom finished before next year!) Unfortunately we only got 2 traditional family pictures around the tree But we had a fun or should I say funny and hectic nativity. Darren was a good sport and played the donkey and Jer obliged and was Joseph. Christmas was a great day--it snowed all day and was beautiful. We had a great dinner, the kids loved playing with each other and the big boys had great fun bonding And we had great fun with our new toy It was great fun and a great memory. Sure love you all
