Temple Square

Christmas Night

We went to G & G Bills' house for Christmas dinner. It was so good...and so good to be with our family and friends. We also had a special treat from Kristin this year - a rap! And of course Christmas wouldn't be complete without a visit from Santa (the older kids have figured out who this bearded man is, but they are good sports to pretend for the little ones!)

On a sad note, Great Grandpa and Grandma Taylor didn't make it. Grandma's sister Eunice passed away this morning and Grandma was having a hard time with the news.

Let It Snow!!!

We love the snow! The kids couldn't wait to go out and play after they had opened their presents.

Christmas Eve

This year on Christmas Eve the three older kids were able to go skiing with Daddy during the day. That evening we drove around and looked at the lights and went to our favorite house that has lights dancing to music. We read the Christmas story from the bible and watched some Christmas movies and tracked Santa on the computer.

After the kids were all tucked in bed when found reindeer droppings on our porch!

The Sunday before Christmas we go to Ogden to see Grandmummy Porter and the Oyler's. We always have a Christmas dinner and exchange gifts. This was the first year we spent the night with Ethan and Kate. It was fun for the kids to be with their cousins and we enjoyed visiting with family.
