Christmas Time is Here

The awaited holiday of the year has crept up and out. It's hard to believe its gone already. Christmas was time well spent with family and friends. The "G's" got together in Ut before we all went our ways and it was wonderful to see my dear high school buds! Then we were off to Green River, WY to be with the Parkers. Christmas eve involved making gingerbread houses, wrapping presents, and reading Luke 2 for home evening. The girls had a hard time holding still as they knew they could open one present. Finally, they opened up their princess pajamas that mom sewed. It was so cute to hear Emily say "slippery pants." They loved them and danced all night in them. Christmas morning started early and Santa was good to us. The girls have been "really good" this whole year, they kept reminding me. They well earned their sleeping beauty doll and doll house furniture. It was so fun to see them so excited! We also went ice-skating with Aunt Janetta in Rock Springs. She is so good! Grandma and Grandpa Parker really showed us a good time and we can't thank them enough. Thank You!! We love you lots and lots!



We wouldn't have missed the chance to see the Pratt side in Utah. On new year's eve eve, snow came down in buckets so we hit the hills for some good sledding. Then we exchanged gifts at our house and ate lots of yummy food! It was so fun seeing and hanging out with everyone even if it was a little crazy too. Aunt Lisa sewed adorable dolls for all the girl cousins! They are so cute! Aunt Liz made Avy a tu-tu. I loved to watch her strut her stuff in it. She loved it. All the cousins seemed to be having a good time and we feel so blessed to have you near! But for the ones that aren't so near--we missed you tons! I love you all! Thanks for spoiling! You all do too much!
