Happy New Year to all our family and friends! We brought in the new year with laughter and loud noises! Kelsey and Jake decided they would not only blow their horns, but they'd jump up and down on bubble rap to add more excitement. It was just fun watching them!
Morgan and her friend, Taylor, decided to take the more
mature approach.
And, as always, I was sappy and emotional. New Years Eve always brings back family memories and thoughts of my dear parents. Tears are good!
Christmas was a joyful day. Santa keeps finding our home, regardless of our behavior, and he had a fun sense of humor this year.
Family tradition....First prayer, then line up from youngest to oldest. (I always enjoyed this tradition since I was the youngest of 5).
Morgan received a life-size cardboard cutout of Edward. This became the "joke of the day" as we kept hiding him in rooms, closets, showers, etc. and scaring each other. How come it's always the random gifts that become the favorites?
Christmas Eve was spent with family and friends. We enjoyed our traditional singing of Christmas hymns, reading the account of Christ's birth from the scriptures, reciting my mother's Christmas poem, singing the rowdy Christmas songs and finishing in unison reciting, "The Night Before Christmas." It is always a wonderful evening.

I absolutely love that you (or Santa, I didn't see who it was) got her a life size Edward. I can only imagine how Josh would react to that. Probably pounce on it with weaponry. :)
