Christmas Fun

Temple Square--it's easier to not take the kid out of the stroller for the picture.

Kenzie's first time of really playing in the snow. In her snow pants and boots, she looks like she just walked out of "The Christmas Story", but had fun playing for a few minutes until the wind started blowing.

Making ginger bread houses on Christmas Eve at Grandma and Grandpa Christensen's. More candy was consumed than made it on the house. Christmas Eve was filled with ginger bread houses, family skits, dinner, and the nativity. And, of course, a lot of fun with cousins, aunts, and uncles.

Christmas morning at home. We had such a fun morning, but rushed it a little so we could beat the storm on our way to Morgan. Christmas day was, of course, filled with "pesents" (presents), visiting with Grandma Clark, homemade Chinese food, a serious game of BINGO, lots and lots of homemade candy and shrimp dip (let's just say we've all been a little ill from all we've eaten over the last week...but hey, where is the rest of the fudge!), and playing with Grandpa and Grandma Adams, Cousin Tate, and the aunts and uncles.

Day after Christmas was spent helping at Grandpa and Grandmas new, almost finished, house and more playing in the snow. The idea of getting on the snowmobile was very appealing as you can see from the picture. Kenzie enjoyed Karlee holding her much more than she enjoyed even getting close to the snowmobile. This outdoor adventure and snow playing was even shorter than the first. Amazing the work we go to to get kids dressed to play outside for them to only stay out two minutes!

One of the greatest parts of Christmas for Jared is that he gets to try to grow the "Christmas beard" because he has a few days off for it to grow out. One of the greatest parts for me is when he shaves off the "Christmas beard".

Overall, a very merry Christmas!!
