Christmas 2013

We had a great Christmas this year!  Jay and Brynn and girls came down and joined us at the house and added the excitement of little children to our household of adults.  We also got to see all of the rest of the family on Christmas too! We are so blessed to have everyone in state. 

On the 23rd we decided to get out and enjoy the beautiful day.  We took a little hike on the Temple Quarry Trail.   The kids were such great little hikers and and loved climbing on the rocks!  

Grandma Kurtz, Moss and Christie and kids and Beacher joined us for Christmas eve dinner.  Jay and Brynn took charge of the meal and it was very tasty!

After dinner we opened the PJs and a few other gifts.  Grandma made hand-painted bird houses for each family!  Paul made a beautiful painting for his mom.  He refurbished a frame that his dad had made to put it in.  He also wrote a story about the painting and each of our kids got their own copy too.  

Christmas morning stockings!

Around the Christmas tree!  Beacher made Supe the cutest Cheetos chalk bag!  We are really looking forward to when she is an "official" member of the family!

Later in the day the Weavers, Moss and Christie and the Smiths dropped by.  Our kids gave us a gift that we will enjoy all year long - State and Nat'l. Park passes, and movie and dinner gift cards all wrapped very creatively by Juge.  We are so excited to use all of it! 

Kennis was feeling a little sick, so we visited the Borrowmans at their house to exchange gifts.

More Christmas day fun!

In the afternoon we went up do some Christmas with the Randalls.  So fun to see them.  After the festivities, we spent the night so that Lou and Bryan could get up early the next morning to head for the hospital for the birth of the newest addition to their family.  I don't think much sleep went on that night.  Everyone was pretty excited.

We are so thankful for all of our wonderful family.  What a wonderful gift our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ have given us by making it possible for us to have a forever family!  Merry Christmas to all of you. We love you all so much.
