Several days of Christmas!

On the first day of Christmas, my true love gave to me . . . six more children.  You get the picture.  Our much larger family made this Christmas a long and joyous one, as we celebrated it several times to include everyone.  It was a wacky and wonderful time.  Can I now take a vacation from the vacation??

Dec. 19th

We drove to Ogden and visited and delivered gifts to Paul's family.  Older sister Jayne (who is just finishing Beauty School) cut Dakota and Carson's hair.  They loved that.

Dec. 24th (Christmas Eve)

It started to snow . . .

We baked lots of Christmas sugar cookies, frosted, and delivered them.

Dec. 25th (Christmas Day)
Round 1

It snowed about 10 inches.  Such a lovely white Christmas to wake up to (at 6:00 in the morning).

Dec. 26th
Round 2

Add two kids, and go for another Christmas celebration . . .

Goofballs!  Stripper pole at McDonald's.  It was only breakfast time.

And we made lots and lots more cookies and frosted them.  We ate more snacks and sugar.  More stockings and gifts for Brianna and Preston.                                                                                   

Snowball fight in the park just before dark.                                                                                          

           

                       

Dec. 27th
Round 3

Add two more kids, more food, and a "Pie Face" game . . . Jayne really loved watching us all get whip cream in our faces!

End of the evening . . . two exhausted parents and a worn out doggy.

It sure was a great time though.  We love our kids.
