Oh Holy Night...

I love Christmas. Anyone that knows me at all know this. It was so much fun this year to enjoy Jack terrorizing the tree. We are so lucky to have our Savior whom we can celebrate and remember.
Gram and Papa came to Idaho to make sure we had our christmas tree up and that Jack was making a sufficient disaster of the tree. And he was! They brought him his first puppy dog. And I am so glad that skippy is hypoallergenic. But what really lit up Jack's eyes was the 5, yes thats right 5, need to read it again 5, 5, 5 pound bar of herseys chocolate that Papa picked out for Jack. You would not believe how giant that things was. To say the least I did not feed him all five pounds :) but we did melt it down and with 4 pounds of pretzles we had treats for many neighbors. Gram and Papa got back from South Africa and brought back dad and awesome club mom over the head weapon used by Zulu warriors.
I bet you can finish the ending of that story.
We had a fun time staying with Josh and Suzie and going to see temple square and the lights. Here we are pictured under the temple square UTE tree.
It was pretty chilly.
I honestly think the temple has the most slendor during Christmas. And I bet most people would agree.
And this is our failed attempt at a christmas picture. Notice Jack is plugging his ears. He has some jealousy issues when it comes to Oaklee so whenever she was near, or even aunt patty, he would plug his ears like they were some huge nusance. Since then he has gotten a bit better about her. Altough recently when she was resting peacefully in her bouncy he did try to rocket launch her into space. But I think that might just be a facade... he has been know to shower her with sweet kisses.

Christmas morning with Daddy. It was a blast. We had Dan's parents come over for finnan haddie breakfast and it was delicious. Christmas is even more magical when you can share it with the ones you love and watch your children enjoy.
