Christmas

We spent Christmas at my dad's house in California this year. My brother Andy and his family came from Utah also. It was fun to have so many cousins together. The picture above is of the kids Christmas morning. Aaron didn't even wake up until after everyone finished opening their presents.
Here are all the cousins that were together. They all played so well together the whole week. Lexi keeps asking to call her cousin Abbi because she misses her.
The girls thought it would be fun to ride Isaac so he decided to oblige them. Right after I took this picture they all came tumbling down. Thankfully no one was hurt.
We got gingerbread houses at Costco for 3 bucks on Christmas Eve, but we didn't let the kids make them until a few days after Christmas. As you can see, ours didn't do very well. I was trying to get the roof on when my hand went through it. The kids still wanted to eat it thank goodness. We had such a good time just hanging out with family this year. Maybe next year we can get more of our siblings in on the fun.

The 3 older kids in the picture are Marlissa's, Richard, Audri, and Alyssa. Marlissa is doing really good and living with us right now. The 2 blonds are Andy's kids, Reese and Abigail. They are expecting their 3rd girl in March and building a house in Utah.
