Christmas time again!
The ward Christmas party with Santa is always a hit!
One of our favorite things to watch every year, and the reason Sophie and Raegan were never home--the Choraliers! They performed almost daily through December and their Christmas concert was great. They travel around one Sunday and perform at all the churches and I cried listening to their beautiful songs about the Savior sung so perfectly. How great that 80 kids are learning songs to celebrate Him at Christmas time.

Christmas eve! We were excited to have Romney home and to be ALL together as a family again. We decided to go all out and have Christmas eve lunch at Arctic Circle--chosen by Hartman for the corn dogs and approved by Brent and I for the coupons we had in the car...plus, that fry sauce!
The kids wanted to dress up to read the Christmas story this year, and Raegan thought she did a pretty good job being a fancy wiseman. She's legit alright.

And Christmas morning! Always a miracle...
These stockings were saved for last...each had a lanyard inside with a letter. The letters spelled MIRACLE. The Carnival Miracle! Leaving in February for our last family vacation ALL together! There was hugging, screaming, disbelief...we can't WAIT!

| We tried to recreate the stair picture from last year, but Hartman had had a fever for two days, and Christmas was the third. He just wasn't himself until that motrin kicked in...poor boy! |

| Landrie's favorite gift. She's been practicing non-stop. |
We headed to Utah the day after Thanksgiving to see the family and the lights at Temple Square. Hartman wanted a bow tie for Christmas, and it arrived the day after, as we were getting in the car for our drive East. He put it on and was thrilled to notice that Joseph Smith has a bow tie too!
We stayed at the JS Building for a while waiting for the Bocs who met us downtown. It was so fun to see them and Graham in his awesome police uniform and spend some time catching up. We didn't take a picture all together, or of the awesome party that Shafer and Lindsey put on the next night at their house. We loved seeing everyone. A very Merry Christmas it was.
