Christmas Time

Christmas Eve 2012 we had my brother Jeff and his family and my sister Tana and her family over.  It's so nice to get together with family.  This is what I love about the holidays.
We had a great dinner together and nativity program.  So cute to see these guys altogether.

Then afterwards, we had PJ's and ornaments to open.  Also the kids loved having Secret Santa gifts to each other.  That was a real treat to Ammon this year.  He's fully aware of how things work now.

       Ammon's train ornament                             Jarom's BYU football player ornament               Raegan's fashionista ornament
                         Rian's soccer ornament                                      Tarin's snow globe ornament 
A beautiful Christmas Morning.  Snowed all day yesterday, but today was sunshine and winter wonderland.

Kids traditionally sleep all in one room Christmas Eve, and know that they can't come get us until 7am.  This is what they saw this morning.

After all the fun of gifts, we skyped with my parents in Ghana, Africa.  It was good to talk with them and see their faces.  We love them and cheer them on.
Afternoon was the time we headed over to Gma and Gpa Wardwell's house for food, fun and hanging out.  Gma came up with this brilliant idea to tie the sleds to the ATV's.  The kids LOVED it!  It was a lot of fun.  Cold and wet when they got off, but they wanted more....Ammon was so cute holding on and not wanting to let anyone else have a turn.

I had fun on the other ATV from Gpa, dragging the cousins around.  I like swinging them around and doing little jumps.

Raegan was so adorable.
Tarin is my little snow bunny!

Seriously, family is the greatest gift of life.  We love you all and thank you for so many fun and memorable experiences.  Merry Christmas!
