We all gathered in Utah for my parents 40th Wedding Anniversary for Christmas this year. We had not all been together in a very long time. In fact the last Christmas we were all together we all got extremely sick...and it happened again! I think everyone either had the stomach flu or had a really bad cold, disaster. In spite of all of that we still had a blast and I would do it again in a heartbeat. My parents had a fun party with family at the Lion House in SLC and my sisters made a great slide show of their lives together, I think I cried through the whole thing!
The cousins thought it would be fun to have a big sleepover in the basement so every night they would go get in their sleeping bags and Grandpa would come and read them stories and my brother Tim would play Christmas songs on his guitar and sing to them. It was so fun seeing them together
James thought it would be more fun to run around and be "jazzy". He was probably right
So he would come upstairs and hang out with the adults until the wee hours of the morning. Have you ever been to AwkwardFamilyPhotos.com If you haven't it is a MUST! We looked at the entire website one night and laughed so hard there were several trips to the bathroom.
My Mom loves fishing booths so every time we get together we can always count on going fishing for some goodies. The kids LOVED it and couldn't believe that all they had to do was put the swiffer mop over a curtain and they would get a present!!! All I can say is Awesome! Here is D showing us his mad fishing skills
Bear would go back & forth underneath the curtain and one time Molly said, "ahhhh, loook. Beao looks like a brride!" haha!
One of my favorite parts was piling on the couch, watching the fire and singing christmas songs. Can't get any better than that!
