Christmas in Utah - Part 2
Christmas Day was busy, but somehow still relaxing. We did a big Christmas dinner, the preparation of which took up quite a bit of the day. Other than that, we opened presents and hung out with family. Here is the Christmas morning scene (note the adorable little juniper Christmas tree.) 
The kids dumped out their stockings first, which included crayons, flashlights, and, of course, candy. 
Connor and Elise received so many wonderful gifts from friends and family, we have to say thank you to everyone for their generosity. Caught in these pictures, though, are Connor's toy dinosaurs and "big kid" tool set, and Elise's playsilks, new pajamas, and baby doll. (Plus, of course, the crocheted Goomba Kelli made for Kevin.)
Ryan got me an I.O.U. for a new couch (which we now have, and it's fabulous.) 
I got Ryan the new Super Mario Wii, but that didn't make it onto the camera for some reason. Connor was very excited to give Kelli this ball of rainbow yarn he found at the store. The moment he saw it on the shelf, he ran up and said "We should get this for Kelli!" It took all his self control not to tell her about it in the days before Christmas. 
After our meal, and a trip to see the new house, we went to Grandma Cloe's where she gave us all these great handmade hats! They came in very handy, given how stinkin' cold it was up there. 
Oh, and then my brothers did this. Yeah, I guess we're related. 
Wonderful Christmas, wonderful trip.
