Here are just some random pictures from our family Christmas. I bought Scott a Wii game system for Christmas so if you see a few pictures where you think...hmmm...what ARE they doing??? Playing the wii is what we are doing...we had a lot of fun...and of course I am taking the pictures so I ma not in very many...but I kind like it that way :)
opening presents....
and more presents....
Ok, OK...I know...enough of the open presents pictures. But with 6 kids, 2 son-in- laws, and 3 grandchildren (3 were not with us that day) it does take a long time to open presents.
My husband Scott and son-in-law T. If you know anything about college football in Utah you know that BYU and the U of U are big rivals. My husband is a BYU fan (blue) and my son-in-law is s "U" fan (red) but they managed to pose for this picture with Scott actually touching the Uof U license plate cover I got for T. He did go and wash his hand afterwards though...LOL
Sometimes these big holiday events can just wear you out. Scott is giving our grandson Jaxson a little love as he took his blanket and crawled up on the sofa for a little rest.
My husband and I decided a few years back that trying to have a holiday dinner just never seemed to work out. All but one of our children are grown and on their own, 2 are married with growing families of their own and with all the extended family members we just got tired of trying to make the dinner thing work. So we decided to do a holiday breakfast each year. And on Christmas we all get together early fro presents, breakfast and Christmas bingo. I have one prize wrapped for each person and then a grand prize. We have so much fun playing g and it is now a tradition our kids look forward to. We also do breakfast on all the other holidays so our children have time to go see other family members later in the day for dinner and they don't feel so rush trying to run from house to house and eat a little here and there.
Looks like Natalie was one of the first to win something.
looks like our son-in-law Johnny won something too! Keep trying girls you are bound to win something soon.
Not sure if that is love Brittany is giving to Johnny or if sh is trying to hurt him...LOL. Jaxson seems to be enjoying his truck in the background.
Paige loves to have her toe nails painted so her prize was a new set of nail polish with decals. She looks pretty happy about it.
Nicole....
Brandon......
After the bingo was over everyone went home for a nap, or to visit other family members and then they all cam back for ham sandwiches and goodies and to play the new Wii....I have never laughed so much as I did that night. What fun we all had trying to keep up with Michael Jaxson as everyone danced to his moves!
Our daughter Kendahl was able to come home from college in Washington for Christmas and we were so happy to see her.
Brooklyn was so glad to see her Auntie Kendahl!
I have to say this one of the best most fun Christmas's we have had. I love our family and cherish each moment we get to spend together!!
Merry Christmas!!!
