Christmas Day

My favorite thing about Christmas morning is all the smiles! 

Christmas Highlights

Decorating for Christmas always brings
the holiday spirit.  We don our
Santa hats and blast Christmas music.

Tito likes it too!

I LOVE Christmas lights!

Ben was the most excited about
decorating sugar cookies...

his are always a little naughty

Q wanted to decorate a gingerbread house.

Our family Christmas Party was especially
pleasant this year.  We played some
Christmas Kahoot and the traditional present game.  

This was the only picture we took on Christmas Eve. 
Karen and family came over for a yummy dinner.
It was a peaceful evening.
We didn't act out the nativity this year. 😞

Christmastime with the Young Women

We froze and got soaked while Christmas Caroling!

Music and the Spoken Word was Magical!

The Christmas gift exchange/saran wrap game were super fun!

Basketball Season!

I love watching our kids participate in sports, basketball is one of my favorite seasons, for sure!

This year T is playing JV for Timpanogos high School, and Q is on the 4th grade Bantam team for Westlake, Ben is his coach.  It's so much fun!

Thanksgiving

This year, we spent Thanksgiving in Washington.  It was the first time Ben had been home for Thanksgiving in about 20 years.  I think he was happy!  

Always the turkey carver

Lots of cousins!

Good food!

A paper airplane competition!

Family turkey bowl!

And the Centralia tree lighting ceremony!

Where in the World was Ben Last Week?

And posing for a fun photo
Looking good Ben.
