Christmas, Wedding, New Year's Eve, etc







A man who lives not too far from us does a whole Christmas village on his property. It is very intricate and the kids (and big kids) all loved seeing it. Keri, JoEllen and Sandra all got to see it as well. He does a great job putting it all together with houses and shops, merry-go-round, sledders, ice skaters, etc.

Opening gifts-just one on Christmas Eve

Acting out the nativity story

Emma and Chris were worn out!
It has been a crazy couple of weeks and frankly, I'm ready to get back to boring normal life, but it has been fun having everyone home and family visiting. We have a terrific family! and feel very very blessed. Christmas was lots of fun of course, despite sickness and injuries, but the main focus of the holiday break was the wedding, as it should be. Erica and Spencer make such a fun and cute couple that it was just a happy, joyous occasion. Everything seemed to go quite well. I don't have pictures yet (Andrea has some on facebook) but when we get the cd we will share. What I have seen from the photographer so far looks good! We have an open house to go to tomorrow in NY, and there will be one next week in Utah but most of us won't make it to that. Meanwhile, here are some pictures that I do have from the last two weeks.

I'm glad that you had a good Christmas and wedding. Sandra said that everything was so nice and that she was glad she went. Wish more of us could have gone. What a holiday you have had. I will be anxious to see the wedding pictures.

Had a great time! I hope that Chris was able to get more sleep! Happy return to normal.
