This year was a special Christmas for me because we were with my parents and for the first time in two years, all the children were there. With 3 brothers and back to back missions, we've had a series of together then apart for several years. This year was the crossover with Joseph being recently home and the last holiday before Dallin leaves. We were fortunate enough to spend a little over a week at my parents house and get that quality up close and personal time with each one of my brothers :) You know, the kind of time where you are together so long that certain brothers start to feel comfortable again with running around the house without any pants on.
Christmas kicked off with the annual eve party at Uncle Brian and Aunt Annie's house. Sadly, Sophie had a bad cold and so we were unable to stay for very much of the caroling. (Warren was not very sad about this part though :)

Christmas morning worked out perfectly. We brought Sophie down, had her play in the presents and by the time that everyone else was finally ready to go, it was nap time. Mommy and Daddy were then able to enjoy opening presents with everyone else :)

Later that day came the feast.

After Christmas, our days were filled with hanging out, acting silly and playing lots of Wii.
And of course the year ended with celebrating a birthday for "Uncle Jo-Jo".
