Christmas

So I'm very late but we had a great Christmas break. We stayed at my parents house on the 23rd and my Dad took us out to eat at Fairview Inn and then we stayed up late playing games. We stayed until late on Christmas Eve and then came home and woke up the next morning to see what Santa brought the girls. Even though we missed everyone it was fun to do it at our own house and see the girls reactions. Every little thing McKin got she would say "I have ALWAYS wanted this!!!!"
We went to the Daws for lunch on Christmas day and they had handmade the girls their own dollhouses, which are beautiful! We got to talk to each of our brothers on missions, Sagean in Chile and Tanner in Michigan and it was great to hear their voices! Besides a lot of snow putting a damper on some travel plans, we had a great Christmas. Among other things we.....

Cooked...and ate ALOT thanks to my wonderful mother,

Had a fun FHE at my Grandpa Wahlen and his wife Carla's house (McKin and my cousin Ryan's little girl Jenny)
hoarded the m&m's (look at that face, that's some serious hoarding),
and put baby headbands on grown boys.
We had an awesome nativity scene with McKin as the Angel, Halle as Mary, Easton as Joseph, and an absent sleeping Quincy as the baby Jesus. Luckily Halle's baby made a great understudy. Afer that we went caroling and sang "Hark the Herald Angels Sing." McKinley was kind enough to remain in her angel costume to create a more visual effect.
We also went to Garrett's basketball games and kissed our un-interested cousins,Got our cameras stolen only to be reclaimed with some pretty crazy photos on it,received a new method of transportation,and managed to get in a little sledding down our hill. It was a great Christmas and I'm sad it's over. Now the snow that provided a gorgeous Christmas landscape is just annoying as ****. Well....here's wishing everyone a great 2009!
