Merry Christmas to all...

Merry (belated) Christmas Friends and family. We had a really nice holiday season and hope everyone else did as well. This post is just full of pictures so you'll just have to try to make it through.


Emily and Lilly were goofing off in the car on Christmas Eve day while I finished up a few last min things. What silly girls.



Kunka really wants to blow bubbles. She just got the chewing gum with out swallowing thing down. This is a pic of her "blowing" a bubble. And this is her after she blew so hard it hit the back of the front seat in the van and I told her no more gum.

Did you know that Baby Jesus and Mary and Joesph where Ute Fans???


Here is Kunka waiting to go to the Olsen Family Christmas Party(i totally forgot my camera so I don't have pictures from there. ) Every year the Ross and Marge Olsen Family, (there are only 36 of us) get together for food, fun and gifts. This year we had all but 2 i think. It was really fun and I think everyone that helped did a great job. Some of the traditions in our family is we each get one name of a sibling and buy for the family, we all bring starters to eat and the Best part of the night all the kids look forward to is the Grandma Jammies. My mom buys jammies for all the grand kids and they all run and put them on (even the 15yr olds) and that pretty much ends the night. The kids are all dressed for Santa and they can now go home and go to bed. Here are my girls in their Grandma Jammies

Ready to go to bed in hopes that St. Nicholas soon will be there.

Emily and the gifts. She has been hauling them around for weeks now.

And Santa Did Come (notice the big monkey..we couldn't find a curious George but we did find an enormous monkey instead she loves it)

Here we are opening gifts

Gracie happy she got "spinners" (like Healeys)

Here is Lilly opening her gift from Gracie, a princess scooter.

Kunka got a new car seat (how did Santa know)

Lilly got a new baby stroller for her new babies...but Kunka got a little stuck trying to get in it.
Poor Kunka

Blake Lilly and Kunka opening gifts...Everyone was happy with what they got. Blake got a bunch of ute stuff he really wanted (again, that Santa is amazing) After presents, an awesome breakfast and playing Emily was totally tired. so she and the monkey went to nappy time. So cute.



We hope everyone got what they always wanted..I know I did, I got the love and health of a wonderful family. What more could I want. (oh and a spaghetti Pot..thanks lance and Kristi)

Looks like you had a really good Christmas - and spending Christmas Eve with family - doesn't get any better than that!

We spent Christmas in Florida - with the warm sunshine on our faces and picking fresh oranges and grapefruit for breakfast! Wouldn't have taken much for me to stay there. No kids this year- it was an "off" year, especially with two on missions. Aaron leaves for the field (Phoenix) on New Year's Day. Jordan has nine months left.

Hpe you are all well and safe,
Love
