Christmas

We had a wonderful Christmas time!! We were able to fly out to Utah to have Christmas with ALL of Barrett's siblings and parents. Barrett ended up changing his flight to come with me and the boys. It was a Christmas miracle because the day he was supposed to fly out, the east coast was hit with almost 2 feet of snow. My sister didn't make it to California until 2 days after her scheduled flight. We were so thankful...especially since Tommy decided to cut his 8th tooth while in the air. We were able to help decorate the beautiful, unique, sweet smelling Christmas tree, which Damon loved. We enjoyed being at the big family Christmas party Saturday where an elf came and made balloon creations. Damon loved his motorcycle balloon. The snowman was pretty awesome too! We had a surpise baby shower for our sister-in-law and ate yummy pizza, while all the brothers were snowboarding and our poor brother-in-law was having surgery for kidney stones. Damon played in the snow a lot and loved every minute of it! We were able to go to the temple, see a couple movies in the theater, shop, play games, visit and talk, hear a wonderful Christmas choir at church (I felt like I was at a concert with a violins, cello, flute, harp, guitar, and so many choir members I think it was the total number of people in our entire branch!), hear Christmas stories on Christmas Eve, and enjoy the spirit of Christmas!We saw lots of cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmas, and relatives...isn't that what Christmas is for?! We sure loved it! Thank you Barry and Rolayne. It was fun being all together!

*Can you tell which pictures were taken on our old camera and which ones were taken with our new Christmas camera?!! Oh, and the really good pictures out of order are pirated from Quinn...thanks for letting me steal them...they're awesome!
