Christmas 08

This was the first Christmas in 12 years that we stayed home. I wanted to be with the rest of my family in Az. But actually really enjoyed spending Christmas at home with our own little family. Santa was able to still get to us despite all the snow.

Ethan likes the fact that he doesn't have to go outside to get icicles. He just reaches out the back window.
Santa brought Kaden a cross-bow. The arrows seemed harmless enough, But the spongy yellow darts have Velcro on the ends of them. Kaden scarred Porters face with one.
Porters favorite gift was a firetruck from Grandma Gardner
Ethan's favorite gift! No not the truck, but the blanket. He keeps thanking me over and over again for it.

This is a shout out to Grandma Gardner!

We went to Karl's brothers house for Christmas dinner in Lehi. We got stuck parking the car on the street, Yeah it was that bad.
But Karl and Steve took it as an opportunity for a good time.

We enjoyed our white Christmas and spending time with friends and family.
