Christmas Day 2011

Christmas Day was spent at my parents house. Emily and her family came and stayed with my parents also so it was fun to do Christmas morning with her kids too. Later that evening my brother and his family came over for Christmas dinner. My sister Emily had taken a ton of time and created a Minute To Win It game for our family to do. Everyone got a chance to participate. It was so fun. She put in so much work and it was totally worth it. Christmas was wonderful this year. I was a little worried how I would feel being so pregnant and traveling but it was easy!

As a last note about Christmas Day..... we attended my parents ward for a Christmas program. The talks given were nice but the highlight was one I have never seen and never expected. We got to enjoy a beautiful rendition of Silent Night played on the accordian. It was almost funny at first but it was truly beautiful. A big thanks to my mom and dad for all they did to accommodate us and make it a great visit!
Heidi got a doll house from Santa

The boys got giant Nerf guns with torpedos

Robbie hates this picture but it makes me laugh so hard! Turns out he did pretty well getting his cookie all the way from his forehead to his mouth without using his hands!


Cup Towers
I do not even know what you call this but it looked hard!

Grandpa and Caleb nut stacking. Caleb kicked Grandpa's tail at this.


Tate & Owen were so funny bouncing like crazy to get the christmas bulbs out of the tissue box.

We had so much fun! I'm really glad we all got together. And you forgot to mention how you totally rocked it fanning your present to get the ornament down the hall!
