Christmas Day 2012

 Christmas was nice this year! Just our little family....well, I guess 7 of us isn't all that little, but anyway, it was nice. I wasn't feeling super great which put a bit of a damper on things, but we all still had a great day. Here's some of pics....
 
 
 The kids coming downstairs the first time Christmas morning. The little babes was still sleeping.

 
Kody loves candy and juice in his stocking


 
The girls asked for powdered doughnuts, they were pretty excited!

 
Our backyard. First time in my life I've seen an actual white Christmas (where it snows on Christmas Day) Also just so happened that it was the first real snow of winter. It actually stuck around. 

We enjoyed lasagna for dinner with all the trimmings (homemade french bread, salad, homemade pumpkin and cherry pie)


Kody's sister Shayna was our buddy this year and she made this AWESOME nativity set! They're blocks of wood she carved and wood burned. She seriously is so crafty and artsy!


And on the back she put the different scriptures, its really amazing


When we came back from AZ in August we brought back a million and one Lego's that were Kody's when he was a kid. We finally got them out and Kody and the kids went to town. Spent 2 whole days doing Lego's, the kids loved it!.....And so did Kody

 
 We found a great deal on Craig's List for a Train Table set.  All the tracks, trains, trees, signs, buildings, cars, etc. It was great! We got it for the kids for Christmas. They were excited and have spent many many hours (so far) enjoying it.
 
 
Well, 2012 is on it's way out. We'll see what2013 has in store.....
