A Very Merry Christmas



Thayne doesn't love getting his picture taken. Too bad he doesn't hold still, but maybe next time...



Our family enjoyed another wonderful Christmas. There were several celebrations and parties that kept us busy and entertained.


Thayne loves Santa! He first sat on his lap at our ward Christmas party, then at Cabela's with daddy, again at a family Christmas party and then on Christmas Eve Santa came by with some tasty treats for our family!!! Seeing Santa never got old!



Here are some highlights from December:

- Staying in St. George the first weekend in Dec. and watching the Christmas Devotional
- Hot chocolate bar with Ben and Bethany (Marcie's bro. family) and playing Mad Gab
- A delicious steak dinner (made by Jake) on Marcie's birthday



- Spending time with Megan and Matt (Jake's sis. family) and celebrating Mitch's (their son) birthday!!!!



- The 12 days of Christmas (someone did it to us - thank you, it was sooo much fun!!!)
- Progressive dinner and Christmas party (with magic tricks, pinata and Santa)
- Thayne's dancing and singing to Christmas songs and carols



- German dinner at mom and dad Frank's with a fun program and kids doing the nativity



- Southern Christmas Eve with brisket and hush puppies (and other normal food)



- playing in the church gym with Jake's family on Christmas day


- Food, food, food, and more food!!!!!!
- Our niece, Karli, was baptized
- Our niece, Holland, was born the day after Christmas (daughter of Janet and Chet)
- Spending time with family and friends



- Thinking about our little angel, Emmett!
- Everything about Christmas was memorable this year, so we better stop the list

Marcie-
You guys were busy!! Love all the updates! Love the pic of Dwight-haven't seen him yet! Love Thayne on his rocking horse-what a great gift/toy. Love it all and esp. you!

Way to catch up on all of the December events! I need to do the same. Thayne is lucky to have seen Santa two times. My kids didn't get to see him this year.

If you pack much more into your Christmas time celebrations, you'll have to start on Halloween. What great photos. I love all of them, but am partial to Christmas Eve (love that brisket) and the nativity play. Thanks for sharing it all with us.
