Christmas 2010

Well, Christmas eve started off with breakfast at Mom and Dad's

then we went to play in the snow with Mark and Coleen's family!

We always have a great time with them...the kids have a blast together!

( got a totally cool shot of stephen jumping over devyn

 while she was sledding down the hill)

Then the guys worked on the house for a while.

Christmas eve dinner consisted of a yummy lobster and steak dinner with

Mom, Dad, Brad and Jamie and kids.

Doesnt this look good?? 

Me Bridger and Reese...Brad and Jamie's kids..they love me what can I say!

I love them too!  They are so stinkin' cute!

Here's Jamie, my cute sister in law...I didnt get many pictures that night.

But we had a good time and the food was delicious!

Thanks to Jamie and Brad!

We tried a million times to take a family photo by our christmas tree

but someone always ended up with their eyes closed, blurry, with a goofy face

 or out of place so we finally gave up!

Christmas morning we got up and started opening presents and this was the only picture

 I got when my camera battery went dead! This was Mike's gift from Stephen

pj's with the Spanish Fork Don's logo..the high school Mike graduated from. 

The guys got some warm comforters to use downstairs while they watch movies in the basement since it gets kinda cold down there...because we finally broke down and got a tv!

We've had it since Thanksgiving but it was our main family gift! 

It is really nice to be down there at night with all the lights off watching a movie

It's like being in the theatre!

 Grandpa couldn't wait to get out there again and work on the house! Yes, even on Christmas morning.

The weather was so great both Christmas eve and Christmas day...

he just couldn't let the day go to waste.  (Mike a says Dad is celebrating life and the fact that he can still work and do what he loves most!) The boys went out and helped before we left for Theresa's for

our Stephenson family get together.

First we met my family at the theatre where we saw "Tangled" 

Such a very cute Movie!

Then we headed over to Theresa's

Here's Mom with her newest grand daughter Monroe...Rickie and Krista's baby.

We ate and hung out with everyone there...it was great

except we missed the games because Michael called about that time and we must have talked to him for 2 hours.  That's okay, next year he will be here for Christmas and we can play all the games we want to together as a family....AGAIN!

As we drove away from my sisters to head back home I felt like someone was missing.  As I thought about it I realized it was because we had been talking to Michael for so long and it was as if he was with us again. So, as we were heading home I could feel that void again.

So, we drove by the Draper Temple on our way out

It was very beautiful!

All in all it was a very nice Christmas!
