Spring Creek

Can you find all nine kids?

Sledding

Sue Sue got a sled from Caylee for Christmas.  As soon as it snowed, even though it wasnt very much, she begged to go try it out.

Because there wasnt enough snow Bret just ran up and down the street with the kids in the sled.  They loved it.

Cay got super cold and went in the van to stay warm.

Nativity

At our ward party the children out on a little play of the Nativity.  Caylee and I were sick and missed it.  When she was feeling better all the kids put on a Nativity of their own for Bret and I.

Christmas

I love Christmas.

Christmas jammies.

Sue got rollerblades from Emily.  She wanted to try them out right away so her and I went skating in the freezing cold after all the presents were open.  It was fun and she did so great for her first time.

The after Christmas morning disaster zone.

Christmas Eve

This year my Mom and Dad were here for a few days before Christmas.  We had Christmas Eve with them and opened our presents from them before they left to spend Christmas with my brother.

Our fabulous Christmas outfits.

I had a skirt to match the girls' dresses but you cant see it.  Dash and Bret have matching ties too.

Some of these pictures make me laugh.

Decorating the Tree

This year we decorated our tree with our Elders.  It made it so fun!  I was glad to give them a chance to do something fun like this around Christmas.
