Christmas!

The Sunday before Christmas we had a big snow storm!
The kids had fun playing in the snow after church. They built a snow fort, made snowballs and went sledding.

On monday night for Christmas Eve Eve we had the "Surprise Dinner " at G & G Shields.
It was a fun night, full of dinner, gift exchanges cousins, etc...

Everyone got new gloves for Christmas. So we had a gloves pictures.



On Christmas eve we went to Springville to spend the day with Goofy Grandma and Grandpa, Jen, Chandler, and cousin Eden. It was fun day! Everyone loved holding little Eden. Except Lizzie. She was pretty grumpy about all the attention Eden was getting. She is a big spoiled youngest child. But we all spoil her, so what can we expect.

We had a yummy tri tip barbeque and then headed home in the evening to our house so Santa could come.
The kids were all so excited for Christmas and wanted to hurry and go to sleep so Santa could come.



These pictures got out of order, so here's some random pics from the week.

Christmas morning, the kids woke up around 7:00. Lizzie was scared to get out of her bed because she thought Santa was still at our house. We reassured her that he wasn't here and that he had left her presents.  She got all excited and decided to get out of bed.

The kids were all thrilled with their Christmas presents.
Taylor got a guitar
Emily got new bedding and a lamp, nightstand for her bedroom.
Isaac got a drum and a skateboard
Lizzie got a new doll and a princess dress/crown

Elizabeth had been wearing her crown for 10 days straight now, she loves it!
After opening gifts we had a big breakfast, relaxed, played with Legos, and spent the day in our PJ's. It was wonderful day.

Taylor got some architectural Legos and he had fun putting them all together.

Emily in her cute new coat! It's so furry and warm.

Isaac is offcially the drummer in our family band.

We had a fabulous Christmas! We feel so blessed for all we have and are grateful to celerate the birth of our Savior.
