Christmas 2011



Preparing for Christmas was half the fun. Abby and Hannah swinging tell me all about Christmas wishes from Santa.








Benjamin thought his first Christmas was the best.






It was great to have Brandon come back from BYU-Hawaii to be with family for Christmas.












We enjoyed a fun ward Christmas party where singing and eating were part of the fun.






Benjamin enjoyed his first ward Christmas party too.








But important for the kids was their talk with Santa!








Hannah performed in a cute preschool Christmas program.




Allan was ready for Christmas. See him going into his home all decked for Christmas.




We celebrated Hiram's birthday. Wow now he is nine.








Another fun event was visiting the Whitehouse. That was great.




"Chillin" in front of the TV at Kevin's is part of Christmas fun.




We went as a group bowling and had lots of fun.






Christmas fun at the manger scene.
















Our traditional nativity scene was incredible! Brandon was Joseph, Abby was Mary, Benjamin was Jesus, Hannah and Erica were angels, Ashley was a donkey and a king, Andrew was a king, Hiram was a shepherd and Gary was the narrator who read from the bible. We loved viewing it and they loved acting it out.




Erica and Tiffany played a Christmas song for us.




Shannon accompanied all of us as we sang some Christmas carols before we had Christmas treats.




Preparing to make our annual family pyrmid Kevin directs the effort.




Look at that pyrmid. Now that's really cool.






















Opening Christmas presents at Michelle and Allan's on Christmas morning was so much fun. Lots of happiness and excitement about the presents was expressed.














We went to church and then went to Kevin and Shannon's for Christmas dinner. It was a wonderful day. We love Christmas with family!
