Christmas Morning
Bright Eyed and Booshy Tailed! Emily is ready to take on the presents!
One of the best gifts I could ever ask for every year! Parents that are so in love after 27 years of being together. Still head over heels for each other! Love you Mom and Dad!
GOOD MORNING!! Em is distracted by all the gifts at her feet!
Like Mother Like Daughter! I love my Emy!
Em Love opening her presents. And surprisingly enough she did fairly descent. She didn't really understand the concept but she did better at it than I thought she would. It was a fun morning though.
Em loved the ribbon! I should of just given her ribbon, she would have been completely satisfied! Our little cutie!
As you can see, we all did extremely well. We must have been extra good this year! At least when Santa was watching... guess he will never know what happened behind His back....HAHAHA
Em loves her new toys! We are so happy I picked a winner!
Ok So my Mom got a SWEET bike for Christmas! It is a cruiser so that is why we all went outside to ride the bike! It was kind of a new thing for us Idaho folk. We have all gotten bikes before for Christmas but were never able to go out and ride them as soon as we saw them under the tree! Who new that you could actually do summer activities in December! Gotta love Arizona!!
The girls and I decided to do something special for my Dad. He loves the Hymn If You Could Hie To Kolob, so we decided to practice it up for him and sing it to him. So this was our Christmas present to him. Love you Daddy!
CHRISTMAS Later Morning AKA 9:00 AM
Brother Nichols from the Bishopric in our ward invited our family, and the missionaries in the area to come over for breakfast. We had a mexican breakfast, another first. It wasn't half bad though, I must say! Em was so tired from our extremely early morning so she was out cold! Party animal! Look at us we are so good at candid shots. We all look funny! My favorite is Rob though! HEHEHE
This is my family and the Elders that went to breakfast with us. These Elders are so great. Three of them are my Dad's Assistants and then the other two are Zone Leaders. Starting with me, Elder Christiansen, Rob, Elder I can't remember his last name, Elder Hilton (VERY TALL), Mom, Dad, Amy Elder Jenkins, Angela, and Elder Minon. Elder Christenson, Elder Hilton, and Elder Jenkins are my Dad's AP's. It was a fun morning.
CHRISTMAS DAY
Emily pretty much just played with her toys all day. We had all my Dad's family over for the rest of the day and had a big party. It was really great! I love family get-togethers. I especially miss having my Grandpa around for the holidays. It has been so great to have him around for these holidays. I love you Grandpa! It's so great because Grandpa loves loves loves Emily. He will just watch her and when Emily does something he laughs at her and tells everyone about what Emily did. My Grandpa is so sweet and kind. He finds a lot of fun and happiness in Emily. And Emily is more and more all the time liking Grandpa too!
We love our little Emily so cute and beautiful
MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE and A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
