Christmas 2008

The guys have had a lot of fun playing ping-pong in the basement. It's been quite a competition.

We gathered around the table for some online games. We also had fun playing family feud and wathching movies.

Our Christmas tree.

Our Christmas Eve family gathering. Adrian read the Christmas story from the scriptures and then we all shared the Christmas service we'd done for each other during the year.

We enjoyed singing Christmas songs, reading from the scriptures, and sharing with each other. Adrian and Logan sang "Away in a Manger" (as they did at the Branch Christmas Party) and it was beautiful.

Christmas morning breakfast. We had country ham biscuits and a delicious enchilada breakfast casserole that Lois made.

We had a nice Thanksgiving celebration with the grandmas and Maury and Hannah. Here's a picture of Adrian and Maury, with Adam, Logan, and Hannah.

Elise, with Papa's help, is putting our traditional yellow star on top of the tree. It's one that Kristen made when she was a little girl.
