Christmas 2010

Yes, Christmas came to our house this year, in a big way and over several weeks.  We started in Rexburg for a few days before Christmas and then worked our way back home.  Stick with me, this is gonna be a doozy.

I'm not sure who's having more fun on the 4x6 - you make the call.

Uncles and Aunties

A very heated game of Hungry Hippos.  I think Van schooled everybody!

Christmas Eve Pageant

And of course, the little known character of the king hot dog shepherd.  Yes, everyone needs a refresher course on the Christmas story, he's in there!!

Then Santa came, and our shelf elf, Helper, kept watch over us by night.

After we opened every last present at our house, we went to Mimi and Poppy's house for round two.  Here's a picture of some of the meyhem, but especially notice Grandma T and her broken wrist.  Not her best Christmas!

 

Now, there's nothing particularly special about this picture of Grandpa T sleeping, I mean really, but the fact that he's sleeping armed with a knife in his hand is a little alarming!

Andy and Saramarie got back from sunny CA and Grandpa B came for a visit, so here we go again with round 3.

Here's Grandpa checking out Gage's new ride.

Andy teaching Debra how to play Mario Kart.  It literally made mom car sick, so she sat out the next few rounds on the couch with a headache.

After all the presents were open, we headed to the hot springs for a little relaxation.

Now, don't go thinking Christmas was done yet, Megan, Erick and the girls came a few days later and we started the whole Christmas process all over again for the 4th time.  We really try to get our moneys worth out of Christmas, and this year we did for sure.  Sorry to say I don't have any pics of their Christmas.  Meg did you take any?  Send them my way if you did.

Anyway, I hope you and yours celebrated the holidays in a big way.  We sure did, and we can't wait to do it again next year.
