Let Me Share

Let me share our Christmas activities with you......

This is how the festivites began.

Mike was in a skit with the Bishopric for our ward Christmas party.He liked to call it "Flash Dance"; everyone else called it the flashlight dance.

What do think of his form?

Now moving on.... The weekend before Christmas the entire family met at Mother's house for her annual breakfast. It's always exciting and fun because this is the first of the family gatherings during this time of year. Here are a few photo's from the day.
Hannah, Kayley, Katey, Katelyn and Ella - "Do you think we're cute?"
Here's Cameron watering his grape....it's a LONG, precious story we won't go into.
Here we have - from left to right: J.J., Kacey, Sandy and Miles These four are always happy. And here we have Steve and his wife Ashley. They must have been laughing at the incredibly funny song Bryant sang for us. Hannah and Carter hanging out with their dads.
Hello Carter, you're cheeks are cute enought to pinch!" "As well as yours Audrey......oh wait a minute, what's this?"
And then there's Lon. Guess what he got for Christmas?
We will now fast forward to Christmas Eve.
This is how Christmas, 2008 all began for usI love the look of Christmas!

Our Christmas eve dinner with Elder Race & Elder Urbanik Hannah and Mike putting food out for Santa's reindeer.

And then there was Christmas morning.....
Mario Kart for wii !!!
Deodorant?
A new fleece jacket.....
a new X Box game...
Could it possibly be a new car sterio???
A new mp3 player!
We had a blast watching Grandma Hess play Mario Kart with Hannah.
Daddy even enjoyed a little of the competition.
All of that competition was exhausting, so it was nice to snuggle down under this cute throw Keeley sent her Dad. It was important to catch up on some sleep that was lost.
So we would be ready for the next phase later that evening.
Say Goodnight Audrey....

The End

As usual....I love this post! And I love that you captured so many 'vignettes' around your holiday-decorated home! Especially your department store worthy tree!

Soooo many darling shots of the family. What great times!

Can I play Mario Kart sometime when I'm there? I'm really, really good at it....
