A White Christmas

Hugs from Grandma J

Who needs toys when you can raid the tupperware drawer!

Great Grandma's house with all the snow

We had a lot of fun opening gifts and spending time with family on Christmas Eve & Christmas. It was my birthday on the 24th, so we had the traditional brunch at Grandma M's house and then we went to a party with Kaelub's family in Idaho Falls. Eli was getting some more teeth on the bottom so he was a little grouchy and didn't really care much about his new Elmo PJ's. We always get new PJ's on Christmas Eve, but this year Aaron and Kaelub got ties. (They think they have enough PJ's to last them the next few years.) We were planning on going out to Kaelub's family's house Christmas morning, but it was snowing and blowing pretty bad so we hung out in Sugar until the wind died down. It was fun to see Eli try to open his gifts--he usually pulled off the bow and played more with the paper than the toy! He really liked the stacking cups from Santa and farm animals from Grandma J. It's been a fun vacation and I can't believe we are leaving to go home tomorrow! (I am looking forward to some warmer weather though.)

Glad to hear you were able to go home for Christmas, minus the horrible snowy drives. Oh, and Happy birthday!

I'm so sad we didn't get to see you and Eli! Timing things between families is the biggest pain!!! I love the pictures of Eli's nappy hair - too funny.
