Christmas fun! (warning it's a long one!)

We spent Christmas in Utah and had a great time.



Lexi enjoying her treats from the Ellison Christmas Eve party























Lexi got this crown for her white elephant at the party. She knew exactly what to do with it.



















They had an ugly sweater/Christmas attire contest that was hilarious.





















Parker Christmas party. It was soooooo much fun!



















Lexi was an angel in the nativity. I wanted to cry when I saw her.
She looked so cute and grown up.



























Lexi loved playing with her cousin Grace.



















Santa made an appearance at the party but I think Lexi would have preferred he didn't.



























I got to have fun reuniting with some friends from High School. They are such cute fun girls. I wish we could see each other more often.




















Lexi got to go out in the snow on the 4 wheeler.





















We rode the Polar Express and got to meet Santa and his wife





















Jared even MC'd a little and did a good job. He was a good sport.




















Lexi loved the hot chocolate...cup and the cookies!






























































On our way to church all dressed up



























We got to see Maleah's cute family























Christmas Day! Lexi got a balloon and loved it!




















Opening gifts



Lesson learned: If you build your wife an entertainment center you just might get that TV you've been wanting. Thanks Mom and Dad! Cole loves it!


















Thanks for everything. Happy New Year!

Awww that looks nice. I'm especially impressed by the lasting friendships you have. I guess moving so much made it hard for me to really latch on to people (more than over blogging).

I showed your armoire to my husband. We are both super impressed and how fun that you have a nice tv for it now too!
