Christmas in Farmington!

We had a great Christmas! Lots of snow, lots of food, lots of presents, and lots of family!

The boys started Christmas Eve early by heading out to snowboard with their cousins.
While the guys were gone, the grandmas got busy cooking in the kitchen!

Shane and I got a visit later that afternoon from our good friends Kevin and Jill Anderson. We definitely don't get to see them enough...they live in Arizona. Kevin and Shane grew up together, so we are lucky when Kevin and Jill are spending Christmas in Farmington the same year we are! Our kids love it too! They have a great time together!

Kari's family came over to spend Christmas Eve with us! Her husband Rick and Shane also grew up together!

Shane and Don enjoying Karla's amazing Navajo Tacos!

Karla had lots of crazy games planned for Christmas Eve...including the making of the reindeer antlers!

All of the kids participated in a live nativity!

One last picture with the cousins before they headed home for the night!

The kids enjoyed spending Christmas with both sets of grandparents...my mom and dad came to spend Christmas with all of us!

Rylie go her Elizabeth American Girl Doll from Santa! That was the thing she wanted the most! She came downstairs, looked at her presents, and pointed to a box and said, "that must be my Elizabeth"...and she was right! She hasn't let her out of her sight since she opened her!

Mason got an iPod for Christmas!

The boys got the Nerf guns they wanted from Grandma and Grandpa Bloomfield...they are semi-automatic...there have been darts flying all over the place ever since they got these out of the box! Ginger (the dog) has had quite the time chasing them all over the place!
Rylie and Elizabeth!

Here we all are Christmas morning...after opening all of our presents from Santa...he spoiled us this year!

We woke up Christmas morning and it was snowing...the first one I can remember in YEARS!!! The kids took full advantage of all the snow and built snowmen! Rylie was especially attached to hers!

Grandpa Bills was on "battery duty" for all of the boys new spy equipment!

All Parker wanted for Christmas was a D-Rex. Santa surprised him by bringing him one! He has played with it nonstop since opening him! He even sleeps with him!

Here we are playing with the D-Rex...he can recognize voices...we were getting him to walk to us! He's just like a puppy...but better...we don't have to feed him and we can turn him off!

Kari's little boy Chase was baptized yesterday...it was so much fun to be able to share his special day with him! Here I am with Kari and our mom and dad!

We all had a great Christmas! Happy Holidays everyone!!!
