CHRISTMAS PHOTOS

As always, I wish I would have taken more pictures. I am sorry I didn't get more pictures once the Eberle's and Kindrick's arrived. I guess we were all too busy to think about getting pictures. Anyway, enjoy what I did get.

A cute little gift! It sure was fun having her around.

Christmas Eve Loraya and Isaac decorated gingerbread houses.

We also visited the temple grounds and saw the nativity scene and enjoyed the lights.

Macey didn't like the idea of our Christmas Eve pj photo.
Julia reading the Polar Express.
Sorry, I didn't get this photo turned. Grandpa has always liked Looney Toons

That's all folks!

We had a great time time with everyone here. The cousins got along quite well and really enjoyed their time together. We did have a little sickness. Julia and Isaac were sick before Christmas. Jacob got it after Christmas and I heard that Kristie's girls came down sick after they got home.

THANKS SO MUCH!

BRIAN IS VERY FASCINATED WITH THE KINDLE. HE IS REALLY ENJOYING IT. I THINK I WILL NEED TO GET ME ONE.

I HAVE WANTED A PAIR OF THESE BOOTS FOR A LONG TIME. I LOVE THEM. THANK YOU, THANK YOU.
WE LOVE YOUR GIFTS.

LOOK WHO IS HERE!

THESE ARE THREE VERY BUSY KIDS. WE ARE HAVING A GOOD TIME. MACEY, AS YOU CAN SEE, DIDN'T WANT ANYTHING TO DO WITH SANTA. SANTA ASKED ISAAC WHAT HE WANTED FOR CHRISTMAS, AND HE SAID, "SOME ORNAMENTS FOR THE TREE AND AN APPLE! I WOULD LIKE TO SEE HIS FACE ON CHRISTMAS MORNING IF THAT IS WHAT HE GOT IN HIS STOCKING.

WE HAVEN'T FLOATED AWAY YET ALTHOUGH THE AREA IS HAVING SOME TROUBLES WITH FLOODING. WE HAVEN'T SEEN THE SUN HERE FOR TEN DAYS. WE ARE HOPING FOR A BREAK TOMORROW.

I WISH YOU ALL OF YOU WASHINGTON FAMILY A VERY WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS. WE WILL DEFINITELY MISS YOU.

THINKING OF YOU

I hope you all are having fun getting ready for Christmas. I finished the decorating earlier this week. I feel badly that the tree has to be downstairs. We aren't down there very much. But, when company arrives then it will get to take center stage.

We enjoyed the First Presidency Christmas Devotional. It seemed strange to be able to watch it at home and not go to the church. I thought it was especially inspiring, and a good way to start the month of December.

What are you doing to keep focused on the Savior this season?, Reading the scriptures and reading Christmas stories are two of my favorites.

Earlier this week we woke up to rain. When I got up it was clearing but the clouds were hanging around the mountains and looking so beautiful.

Tonight I looked out just as the sun was setting, and the sun shinning on the mountain was so awesome. There is something beautiful every day to enjoy. I have enjoyed your pictures of the snow. Isn't is nice that we all have beautiful scenery to enjoy. Now we also have all the lights of Christmas to help us remember the "Light of the World".
