Christmas 2011

This post is going to be random. We did so many fun things for Christmas. The kids had the whole week before Christmas off of school so instead of tormenting myself at home we took off and went to Cedar City. All my brothers came and joined the fun. There were 18 people in all. We made gingerbread houses, popped pop corn, watched movies, played Wii, played in the snow, looked at lights, stayed up late, and had so much fun. We drove home on Christmas Eve. On Christmas Eve we went shopping for food and watched a movie, read books and Luke 2. The kids all slept downstairs. On Christmas morning we opened presents, got ready for church and went to church. We just had sacrament. It was wonderful to listen to talks about the Savior. The rest of the week we have been playing with our new toys and enjoying the time off of work and school. Here is a run down of what everyone got this year:
Ben - Play Station 3, new drill, SUU sweater
Laura - Kindle touch with case
Kaelynn - Barbie furniture, Harry Potter Lego, Glow in the dark melty beads, and new clothes
Tyler - Squirt camera, Ninjago Legos, MP3 player, indoor basketball hoop and RC helicopter
Caleb - new guns, bike, stomp rocket
Coleman - binkies and new clothes
Family - Race Track

I can't remember if you knew you were getting a Kindle or not, but you look surprised nonetheless. I'm glad your kids had a week off school so we could spend so much time celebrating Christmas! It was good to see you guys.
