Merry Christmas 2013

MERRY CHRISTMAS


I think everyone's favorite present this Christmas was talking to Elder Cameron Johnson via Skype. He looked and sounded great.  He talked about how it has been raining and raining, how he just had a 10 course Christmas lunch and had to go to another appointment for dinner.  He said he was so full he could barely breath.  



I loved that he and Grandpa got to talk as well.  

Next came the presents.  Santa brought Sierra some new cowboy boots, Creed an air A-R and Cody a speaker for his phone and computer.  



Barry talked about how he hates Christmas because he loves it so much.  The whole commercial aspect of it has kind of ruined it for him.  Santa heard him loud and clear and left him this hat.  


Sierra drew out Cody's name this year and got him one of his wishes on his Christmas list.  A bunch of grape juice. 



Creed loved his knife that Cody made for him.  


Very excited about my new Ninja blender for to make some smoothies!  No more chunks!

Sierra showing off some of her presents.  Mock glasses and a headband from Creed, a cool jacket from her parents and new boots from Santa - not shown was her 7 scarves she got from various people. 

Creed had a stash of coke on his Christmas list.

Creed and Stanton showing off their new cool cars. 

Barry trying out Cody's new camping mat.  


Grandma Janet reading her story book all of her grandchildren wrote to her.  It was quite the story.  Lol

Showing off our matching sweaters and new scarves. 


Sierra showing off her new clothes and glasses. 

Almost time for the traditional Christmas party. 

Sierra and Kali holding James and Brady



I think he just realized he doesn't really know who is holding him…

We ended Christmas day with a fun game of basketball- just a note: I did steal a few of Michael Astle's photos of the ball game.  Thanks Michael for taking them.
