2010 Christmas Season

This Christmas was a rather quiet one. It ended with Kate, Ryan, Tyler and Chase coming out for Christmas dinner and the boys spending the night. Hindsight being what it is and us not really thinking too clearly, I'm surprised no one thought of it, but seriously, we kept the boys from the Christmas toys and really they didn't even say anything about it, we were only missing one very special blankey.


After our ward Relief Society attended a Creche display during the holidays I realized I really wanted more than one Nativity set. April / Kevin and Kate / Ryan gave us the beginnings of the cutest nativity set I've ever seen. The set is from 'Mama Says' and it's a depection of children portraying the Christmas Nativity. Notice the little boy on the ladder holding the star.

The next day I connected with Janna in Phoenix and we headed to SLC to spend the weekend with Mom and Dad. Shellie took the weekend off from work so we could have a little family / sister time together.


I Love the Christmas lights on Temple Square.

The beautiful Maggie girl.

This sweet guy offered to take our picture, and I was pleased with how well he did, without using a flash, he did a great job on focusing on the faces and not the lights behind us and got the lighting just right.

Shellie and Maggie at the water fountain.

Saying Good-bye.  Wait....not to each other, to Janna and I...

Mom and Dad, it was a wonderful weekend, thanks for having us and walking and shopping till your feet fell off and your wallet was empty. It was the highlight of my Christmas Season. Love you two.
