Christmas Eve

We had a big family get together at my sister Sherry's house on Christmas Eve. It was a Mexican potluck, which was wickedly delicious! The kids had a blast and it was so good to see everyone. My cousin Greg and his wife Melanie came, we haven't seen them in years. they have two sweet kids that fit right in. My brother came here from California with his fam. Hanging out with everyone was a lot of fun! We drove home late and after doing some "Christmas Eve chores", finally climbed into bed at 1:00 a.m. Jason and I were pretty tired, but getting to see family really makes Christmas complete!

Emily loves Aunt Sherry and her dog, Sophie!

(My Mom) Grandma Pom Pom and Grandpa Glen are leaving for their mission on January 3rd, so this was the last time we will see them for awhile.





This is Jaxon, Hunter, Dallin, Tristen and Caleb. The boys played very well together.



Mom read from the scriptures while the kids acted out the nativity, it was too cute!



Wyatt always manages to find an abandoned half empty can of soda.



















Maddy and Brooklyn totally hit it off with Jaisa. I think she would be a 1st cousin once removed?


My brother Ben, and his wife Jeana. Ben finished radiation last month for cancer in his leg. We're hoping his next scans come out clear, it was great to see them.











Caleb spent a minute rockin' out on Jax's guitar.








This is Wyatt and Ellie, my nephew Danny's little girl. Wyatt and Ellie have a love/hate relationship. I don't think they hit each other to be mean, they're just acknowledging the friendship!
