Christmas Eve was busy with all sorts of preparations.
Last minute pajama alterations.
Caroling.
Wandering around being cute.
We had mounds of presents under the tree before morning. Here's the before:
Here's the after/during:
We had ten kids on Christmas morning and even more grownups. It was lots of fun and chaos.
Aunt Jessica made all the kids cute horses. Thanks Aunt Jess!
Aunt Susan made our family matching jammies. Thanks Aunt Susan!
The kids really enjoyed playing with the cousins and opening presents. Rohan got the stomach flu the next day, and Bruce has it now, but we still had fun.
We are so grateful for all the talent in our family and that we could spend Christmas in Idaho. Thanks Mom and Dad!
We were also able to visit my friends Jeralee and Malynda while we were there.
Jeralee is about to have her sixth child and Malynda is going to teach sculpture at BYU-Idaho.
Ben and Dad went to Jackson Hole, Wyoming, for a day. They saw lots of wildlife at an elk refuge there.
We left Idaho for Utah and are now at Grandma Gayle's house until tomorrow.
Savitri thought she had hit the jackpot when Grandma let her play with the napkin ring basket.
While we've been away, our friend Earl has been keeping track of the progress on our new house.
We have a floor! And walls!
Thanks Earl!
