It Was a Very Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas this year! It started out on Christmas Eve when all of Camille's family, and some of her cousins went out to dinner at Sizzler! The food was fantastic, but being with family was the best part. After dinner we did a $5.00 gift certificate exchange! Jeremy and I came away happy as we received Ben and Jerry's and Dairy Queen! After that Camille's family opened gifts from the siblings and cousins.
Boston loved his DVD from Logan and Mason, and the other many nice gifts he received. After that we drove home on some very scary snowy roads and went to sleep!
We enjoyed our Christmas morning, burning the cinnamon rolls, eating delicious Quiche, and enjoying opening presents from one another.
Boston really enjoyed the wrapping paper, tissue paper, and his new toys.After we enjoyed our own Christmas, we went to Jeremy's Family where Boston was able to meet up with his cousin Caydon who is passing him up in size! At Jeremy's parents we enjoyed pancakes with apple topping, and a heated white elephant exchange.
After Jeremy's it was off to Camille's family where we ate so much good food, and both Jeremy and Boston received Jazz Jerseys from her parents! They were both very excited!They also gave Boston a walker which he loves!
After all is said and done, we feel very blessed to have had such a nice Christmas. The most important thing was being able to celebrate with family and remember the birth, life, death, and resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. Merry Christmas!

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

My favorite Christmas Quote This Year
"Are you one of the
INN crowd,
or are you one of the
STABLE few?"


Christmas Sweaters
My Aunt Joyce who is serving a mission in Botswana Africa bought these sweaters for her grandson, for my brother's son Peyton, and for Boston before she left. I think they could pass for triplets! Thanks Aunt Joyce!
Trevor, Boston, and Peyton


The Christmas Sleepover
One of my favorite Christmas traditions is my family's Christmas sleepover. This is where all the family comes over and we;












Watch a Christmas Movie,


or some chose to watch the Jazz game (check out all the food!)

there are always lots of smiles, and giggles,

and of course we play games. Although it just isn't the same without my sister Natalia around who would always be the encourager of board games,

And then we get in our Pajama's and everyone sleeps (or tries to sleep) in the living room by the Christmas tree!

In the morning my parents fixed an awesome breakfast, and gave each family a really cool book called "I Believe in Santa Claus." That is another one of my favorite traditions, each year we get a beautiful Christmas story book.

After breakfast we all went sledding together. I don't know who had the most fun, the kids or the adults!

Boston Loved Santa's Beard

The ward party included a visit from Santa, and Boston thought rubbing his hands through his beard was awesome! He of course was stiff as a board like usual!

Finally!! We Received Some Snow!













The snow finally came on Saturday!! Camille was the most excited of course, she was dancing around the house, and couldn't wait to take Boston (the snow bear) out for his first sledding expereince. Camille took him down the little hill in our backyard once, then Jeremy tried to take him up the hill with his dress shoes on, and slipped and fell! Needless to say, the fun was over. Oh well, we enjoyed the snow for the rest of the day from the windows, and from the car!

Oh and both Jeremy and Boston are recovering well from there injurys!
