First off we headed down to the temple to see the lights.

They were beautiful, as always.

It always helps to start the season off right.

They always add a few new things each year but it's good to see some of the classics like the wisemen crossing the lawn. A favorite of mine.

Monday night we had Richards family over for dinner & we played the white elephant game.


One of the funniest gifts of the night was the 'booty bop'

modeled here by Jarrett. Hilarious!


Tatum stopped by with her dad before they headed out of town. Jaron & Tatum had drawn eachothers names so here they are exchanging their gifts.

She gave Jaron a lifting bar that hooks to your door frame. He loved it!

and he made her a stool & got her some petshop toys. She loved them!

On Christmas Eve we headed over to my parents for our traditional navajo tacos. They are delicous and something we always look forward to.

My grandparents joined us as well. It's always good to spend time with them.

Grandma Whipple with the boys.

I was remembering a funny story that got us all to laughing. I could hardly talk I was laughing so hard.

Here we go, a little better. My grandma, my mother & me.

Our crew. Trevon & his faces. Silly boy!

My parents

Christmas Eve, our nerds.

Excited to open gifts, Jaron handing them out.

Love those hugs! Jaron thanking Cam for his gift.

Camdon has been wanting a robe forever, his wishes came true.

and I am thrilled because I am getting new tile in the kitchen/hall/entry.

There is a funny story behind this Arizona 1912 shirt. It's a long one though so I won't be going into it.
Hope you all had a memorable Christmas. We sure did.
