I realized that I wanted to get Christmas blogged before the end of the year. Well, I'm cuttin' it pretty close.
Here are a few highlights:

Mara got her "Ariel with a Big Flounder and Castle" from Santa

A new Lego set from mom and dad.

Xander made a handprint mold at school for Pat & I. I love it!!!  My mom has one of all 4 of us kids because we all went to Bonneville, and since we live here, Xander made one too!  It makes me want to have all my kids to go Bonneville too. Too bad that won't happen, I'll just have to make my own when they are Kindergarten age.

Every year when all the presents have been opened, the kids lay on the floor and we cover them with all the wrapping paper, we take pictures and video, say 'Where are all the kids?"...........

And then they jump up and play in the paper!!

It all started when my dad was a kid, so we've been doing it for 3 generations :)

After having an amazing breakfast (Thanks Brent), we headed over to Grandma Joan's for some more presents.
Look at all those stockings!!!
