Merry Christmas

With Santa at our Ward Party.

We surprised my family at the last minute and drove to Utah.  No one was sick and the roads were cleared, so we took down our tree on Wednesday and drove for two days to get there.  We knocked on my parents door and sang "We wish you a Merry Christmas."  It was fun to be able to be at all the festivities. :)  This is all the grandkids doing the Nativity.


My whole family together.  Look at the good looking group! :)


This is my parents new house they just moved into before Thanksgiving.  The three boys are watching a movie.  (Karsten only lasted as long as it took me to take this picture. :))


Karsten loves the "Ligh, Lights.)


Christmas Morning.

Christmas with the Smiths.  Mikaela snuggling with Annie and Kate.


Karsten loves Uncle Jason.


Kai was really on one that night.


With G&G Smith.  (After Hot-tubing. :))


I also surprised my friends by showing up at the annual girls party.  You can probably tell by the picture how much fun we had. :)


My kids were so excited to see the snow.  (At least Mikaela and Koby were.)  They didn't care how cold or how hard the wind was blowing.  They loved playing out in it.

Wow. Unfortunately it was a guessing game for some of the grandkids in the skousen's picture. I can't believe I didn't get 100%. I better call my mom for help... it's been too long. But it was so fun to see EVERYONE! Thanks for posting. Can you believe how big your nieces and nephews are now???

I am SO glad you had such a good time for Christmas. How great it must have been for your mom to open the door to find you! Love it! Now I just need to call and talk to you, so I can find out how good it was! Thanks for posting all of the cute pics. You look gorgeous in the pic of all your friends (in all of them really, but that is the only close up of you).

I wish I would have known you were in town. We were too! I would have loved to see you and your cute family. Glad you had such a nice Christmas with your family.
